Dulip Samaraweera sanctioned for historic conduct relating to a womanInfluential Victorian batting coach Dulip Samaraweera has been banned from holding any position within Australian cricket for 20 years after he was found to have committed a serious breach of the code of conduct for historic conduct relating to a woman which was described as “utterly reprehensible”.
Following an investigation by Cricket Australia’s integrity department, the case was referred to the sport’s conduct commission and the 52-year-old was found to have breached the “catch-all” provision in the sport’s code of conduct that concerns conduct against the spirit of the game and bringing cricket into disrepute.
Cummins said the woman “has demonstrated incredible strength of character and courage” and “will continue to receive our ongoing support to allow her to achieve her goals on and off the field”.
