Mendis arrested over fatal crash
Sri Lanka batsman Kusal Mendis was arrested Sunday after being allegedly involved in a fatal crash with a cyclist, who died instantly, just outside the country's capital Colombo, police said.
The 25-year-old batsman was driving an SUV at Panadura before dawn when the incident happened, police said.
Mendis had been named in the squad for a home Test series against England in March, but the tour was cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
More than 3,000 people are killed annually in traffic accidents in Sri Lanka.
