The ban will be served concurrently with his initial 20-year suspension, meaning he is still not able to return to any coaching role with Australia or a state or territory body until 2044 when he will be 72.The seven-time Test representative had been involved in Cricket Victoria's women's program for almost 16 years, including as a long-time assistant coach at the WBBL's Melbourne Stars, before resigning in May.
"She will continue to receive our ongoing support to allow her to achieve her goals on and off the field. The Colombo-born Samaraweera opened the batting in seven Tests for Sri Lanka between 1993 and 1995, before later moving into coaching.
