Prabath Jayasuriya reprimanded for post-dismissal bat swing

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Asitha Fernando were each fined 25 percent of their match fees and handed one demerit point for inappropriate physical contact during the first day of the Colombo Test. The incident occurred after Fernando dismissed Jaiswal before lunch.

Jaiswal later said he would not absorb provocation quietly and urged critics to understand the full exchange before passing judgement. Both players accepted Level 1 sanctions from the ICC.

The confrontation required intervention from teammates and match officials before play could resume. India reached 503 for nine declared on day two, with Dhruv Jurel scoring an unbeaten 115.
