Colombo, August 19: Sri Lanka Cricket are likely to ask Cricket South Africa to compensate them for the financial damages incurred following the team's pull out from a tri-nation series here citing security concerns.
South Africa refused to play in the series that was scheduled from August 14 to 29 against Sri Lanka and India after a bomb exploded in the vicinity of their hotel on Monday.
India, however, decided to stay back and agreed to play a three-match series, the first of which was rained out today, against the hosts.
The tri-series matches would have to be replayed as it fell under the ICC Future Tours Programme. As per the ICC regulations, the matter would go to the ICC Disputes Resolution Committee only if the two Boards failed to arrive at a consensus.
The DRC verdict could see South Africa being fined heavily. Reports here said the SLC would claim for compensation since it did not foresee the tri-series being rescheduled in the near future because of the cramped schedule. (Agencies)
