A Test match between India and Sri Lanka in 2017 was played on a doctored pitch at the behest of match-fixers, a sting operation by television channel Al Jazeera has claimed. According to the sting operation by the news network's journalist David Harrison, former Mumbai first-class cricketer Robin Morris admitted to his involvement in bribing a groundsman at Sri Lanka's Galle stadium last year to alter the pitch for two matches. The two fixed matches were Sri Lanka vs India in July 2017 and Sri Lanka vs Australia in August 2016, the channel claimed. Both matches were played at Galle International Stadium. A video of the sting operation was uploaded on YouTube.
According to the sting operation, the match-fixers also said that they were planning to fix England's game against Sri Lanka as well. The match was also played at Galle in November this year.
The sting has also accused Tharanga Indika, the assistant manager of the Galle International Stadium, of being involved in the operation.
