Jaiswal and Asitha were fined 25% of their match fees each and handed one demerit point each for a mid-pitch altercation during the second Test

India batter Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sri Lanka bowler Asitha Fernando have been sanctioned by the ICC following their incident on the opening day of the second ICC World Test Championship fixture in Colombo.

Both players were found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator during an International Match).”

As a result, Jaiswal and Fernando were fined 25 per cent of their match fee and were handed one demerit point each.

Both players didn't have any previous offences in the preceding 24-month period.
