Cricket Australia imposes an additional ten-year misconduct ban on Dulip Samaraweera
By Ian Omoro
Australian cricket has imposed a 10-year ban on Sri Lankan Test player Dulip Samaraweera for alleged inappropriate conduct, which will run concurrently with his current 20-year ban. The 52-year-old, who played seven Tests and five ODIs in the 1990s, was appointed head coach of the Victoria women's team in May. However, his time was cut short due to allegations of inappropriate behavior towards a female player.
Samaraweera was previously banned from all Australian cricket activities for 20 years when it was discovered he had acted inappropriately towards a female player. He has since been accused of further misconduct.
His tenure as a private coach while working for Cricket Victoria is the subject of the second issue. Despite denying the accusation, Samaraweera refused to take part in the investigation and was handed a ten-year ban for breaching the sport's code of conduct.
“The Cricket Australia Conduct Commission has made a decision in relation to a new allegation of inappropriate conduct against Dulip Samaraweera,” the Cricket Australia Conduct Commission said.
“Samaraweera denied the allegations but chose not to participate in the Conduct Commission investigation and subsequent hearing,” it added.
His initial 20-year ban will be served concurrently with the ban, meaning he will not be allowed to resume coaching with Australia or a state or territory body until 2044, when he will be 72 years old. Before stepping down in May, the seven-time Test player had been part of Cricket Victoria's women's program for almost 16 years, including as a long-term assistant coach for the WBBL's Melbourne Stars.
Cricket Victoria chief executive Nick Cummins had previously called Samaraweera's actions “a betrayal of everything we stand for” and “completely reprehensible” following Cricket Australia's September announcement of the results of its preliminary investigation.
“The victim in this case has shown incredible strength of character and courage by speaking out. She will continue to receive our continued support to enable her to achieve her goals both on and off the field,” Cummins said after the initial charge.
“From an organizational perspective, the safety and well-being of everyone at Cricket Victoria is of paramount importance. We will not tolerate any behavior that endangers that position or our people and will always support our culture of speaking up,” he added.
Born in Colombo, Samaraweera opened the batting in seven Tests for Sri Lanka between 1993 and 1995 before moving into coaching. He has been an assistant coach with the Stars since the inaugural WBBL season in 2015, and also served as Victoria's interim head coach for most of the summer. He was due to take on the role full-time but quit in May when Cricket Victoria's conflict of interest clause prevented him from appointing his brother Thilan to the coaching staff.
