COLOMBO:
Sri Lankan pacer Nuwan Kulasekara has been released on bail after he was involved in a crash that resulted in the death of a 28-year-old motorcyclist, according to the country’s cricket board.
The 34-year-old was returning to Colombo from Kandy on Monday when the motorcyclist, travelling in the opposite direction, lost control of his bike while trying to overtake a bus and got flung into the cricketer’s path.
“Kulasekara is currently enlarged on bail by the Kadawatha Chief Magistrate pending completion of the investigation,” said Sri Lanka cricket in a statement.
