The 1996 champions did not send a representative to the press conference, which is a breach of ICC protocol following which the governing body lodged a complaint to the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC).
The Board issued a statement in response saying, “Sri Lanka Cricket discussed Saturday’s incident with the ICC and assured that a similar situation will not occur going forward in the tournament. The SLC also advised the team management to comply with the obligations.”
Sri Lanka, have had a poor outing so far, with just one win in five matches.
