Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal was on Sunday charged for breaching Level 2.2.9 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which relates to changing the condition of the ball. At the start of play on Day 3 of the 2nd Test between West Indies and Sri Lanka in St. Lucia, the visitors led by skipper Chandimal had refused to take the field following a decision by umpires Aleem Dar and Ian Gould to charge the them with altering the state of the ball during the latter stages of the second day's play. Play only resumed after a two-hour delay with the tourists being assessed five penalty runs.
There were animated discussions involving match referee Javagal Srinath and the Sri Lankan pair of coach Chandika Hathurusingha and team manager Asanka Gurusinha.
It appeared for some time that the day's play at least -- and possibly the rest of the match -- might be in doubt.
