Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal, on Thursday, appealed against the one-Test ban that was handed to him by the International Cricket Coucil (ICC) for altering the condition of the ball on day two of the second Test against the West Indies in Gros Islet, St Lucia. "Dinesh Chandimal has appealed against the match referee's findings that saw him suspended for one Test after being found guilty of changing the condition of the ball," the ICC said on its Twitter handle. Chandimal was found to have "clearly applied an artificial substance to the ball, namely saliva containing the residue of something he had in his mouth" by referee Javagal Srinath.
