Sri Lanka's cricket board Wednesday fined captain Dimuth Karunaratne USD 7,000 after he was arrested for drink-driving, with the player also ordered to stand trial next month.

Karunaratne, 30, has apologised for his "unbecoming" actions after he was detained for crashing into a three-wheel taxi on Sunday, leaving its driver injured. "Sri Lanka Cricket decided to impose a fine of $7,000 on Dimuth Karunaratne, after the player was found to have violated the 'Player Contractual Obligation,'" the board said in a statement.
