Sri Lankan police have detained international cricketer Shehan Madushanka on a charge of possessing heroin.
Madushanka, 25, who took a hat-trick of wickets on his international debut in 2018, was remanded in custody for two weeks by a magistrate.
He was carrying just over two grams of heroin when detained in the town of Pannala on Sunday, a police official said.
Madushanka was stopped while driving with another person in a car during a nationwide coronavirus curfew, police said.
The right-arm pace bowler took a hat-trick against Bangladesh on his one-day international debut in January 2018.
He also played two T20 matches against Bangladesh in 2018, but has not played an international since due to injuries.
