Colombo, Ravindra Jadeja won’t play in the last Test. Ravindra Jadeja faces suspension, after he was found guilty breaching article 2.2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Player and Player Support Personnel.
Ravindra Jadeja has been suspended for the upcoming Pallekele Test after his accumulated demerit points reached six within a 24-month period following his latest breach of the ICC Code of Conduct for which he received a 50 per cent fine and three demerit points.
According to a statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC), during the third day’s play in the Colombo Test against Sri Lanka on Saturday, Jadeja was found guilty of breaching article 2.2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Player and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match”.
The charge was laid by on-field umpires Bruce Oxenford and Rod Tucker, third umpire Richard Illingworth and fourth umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge.
All level 2 breaches carry an imposition of a fine between 50 per cent to 100 per cent of the applicable match fee and/or up to two suspension points, and three or four demerit points.
As Jadeja had received a 50 per cent fine and three demerit points during the Indore Test against New Zealand in October 2016 for violating 2.2.11 of the Code, with the addition of Saturday’s three demerit points, he has reached the threshold of four demerit points, which, pursuant to article 7.6 of the Code, have now been converted into two suspension points*.
Following this suspension, the six demerit points will remain on Jadeja’s disciplinary record. If Jadeja reaches the next threshold of eight or more demerit points within a 24-month period, then they will be converted into four suspension points**.
The third Test will be played in Pallekele from 12-16 August.
Virat Kohl, the Skipper said about his teams mates as per ICC sites,
“If as a team you expect to dominate every session you start to go down. So today we thought ‘even if we don’t get wickets early on, we’re going to enjoy these tough times’. It’s all about improving as a side and enjoying all the moments, whether they’re easy or not.
(On Saha) “He’s right up there in the world with the very best. He’s very safe and has been outstanding.
“Other contributions were great throughout the test. Rahane and Pujara – our two best test players as I always say – did brilliantly.”
CAR BOMB IN SOMALI CAPITAL
An explosives-laden car blew up in the centre of Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Friday, killing at least one person and injuring another, police said. The vehicle was parked next to a hospital in a busy road that is flanked by several hotels. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, though the Islamist militant group Al Shabaab has launched frequent attacks in the city. “So far, I have seen one dead civilian. She was a woman. One man was also injured,” Mohamed Hussein, a police officer, told Reuters. Al Shabaab is waging an insurgency to overthrow the Western-backed government and drive out African Union peacekeepers in a bid to take over the country and impose its strict interpretation of Islam. The group ruled over large parts of the nation in the Horn of Africa until 2011, when it was driven out of Mogadishu by the peacekeepers and Somali troops.
GERMAN PUBLISHER COMPLAINS TO EU COURT OVER TURKEY DETENTION OF JOURNALIST
“German publisher complains to EU court over Turkey detention of journalist”>The publisher of Germany’s Die Welt and Welt am Sonntag newspapers has filed a formal complaint at the European Court of Justice about Turkey’s detention of German-Turkish journalist Deniz Yucel since February, the newspaper reported on Saturday.
Turkish authorities arrested Yucel in February on charges of propaganda in support of a terrorist organisation and inciting public violence, amid a large-scale crackdown on alleged supporters of a failed military coup in Turkey a year ago.
Yucel has already filed a separate complaint with the European Court that is being supported by the German government. Berlin has repeatedly called for the release of Yucel and other Germans being held in Turkey and the detentions have contributed to a sharp deterioration in relations between the two NATO allies.

BRAZILIAN SOLDIERS ENTER RIO SLUMS
Brazilian soldiers enter Rio slums amid violence spike;
More than 3,500 Brazilian soldiers are occupying a series of slum communities in northern Rio de Janeiro as part of efforts to combat a spike in violence. The troops moved into the Complexo do Lins communities and neighboring Camarista Meier in the early hours of Saturday. Defense Minister Raul Jungmann told Globo TV that the troops would stay there as long as necessary. Last week 8,500 soldiers were deployed in Rio to fight organized crime gangs, which control many of the city’s slums. Brazilian television showed soldiers armed with automatic rifles sitting atop tanks as they patrolled the communities. Mounting violence in Rio has led authorities to acknowledge in recent weeks that much of the city is out of their control.
