Shanaka's error of judgement

Sri Lanka team manager said Sunday that a ball tampering incident involving Dasun Shanaka was due to an error of judgement and that the fast bowler was remorseful.

Shanaka, who admitted the offence, was docked 75 percent of his match fee after he was seen picking the area near the seam of the ball on TV on Saturday -- day two of the second Test against India.

"It was actually error of judgement on Dasun's part and it was just one in over that happened," Asanka Gurusinha told.

"None of the team members knew anything about it. So it was not something that was planned. He takes full responsibility for that and he is remorseful on that.”
