The 35-year-old was questioned for two hours by the Special Investigation Unit (SIU), which is examining the conduct of the final that Sri Lanka lost to India. “They asked a few questions in connection with the ongoing investigation. I gave my statement,” Tharanga told reporters. Tharanga, who scored two runs off 20 deliveries at the Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, was called in after investigators quizzed chief selector Aravinda de Silva for nearly six hours on Tuesday. The investigation was launched after government minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage, who was sports minister at the time, alleged that Sri Lanka threw the match.
