The Court of Appeal has issued an order today i.e. on 16th October in which former Sri Lankan cricketer Upul Tharanga has been restrained from being arrested upon returning to the country. Let us tell you that Upul Tharanga is also the chairman of Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Committee. The appeal has been made in response to an order issued by the Matale High Court.

On October 8, the Matale High Court had issued a warrant for the arrest of Upul Tharanga after he did not appear in court as a witness in the match-fixing case. The court was informed that the arrest warrant against Upul Tharanga was issued while he was in the US and participating in a franchise league cricket tournament. The Court of Appeal comprised a two-judge bench of Justices MTM Laffer and P. Kumararatnam and passed the order as per a writ petition which was filed by Upul Tharanga himself.
