Sanath Jayasuriya says he has always conducted himself with “integrity and transparency” in the wake of his ICC charge.

Sri Lanka’s former World Cup winner was charged on Monday on two counts – “failure or refusal” to assist with an investigation carried out by the governing body’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) and “obstructing or delaying” its work by concealing, tampering or destroying information.

”Unfortunately, I am not in a position to release any comments at this moment as I am initially required to submit my response within 14 days. I am under strict legal advice that no comment is to be made in respect of the above charges as such a course would offend the ICC Rules.

“My legal team is in the process of drafting my response and I would make a further release upon the submission of the said response.”
