Indian batsman, Virender Sehwag, has accepted Sri Lankan bowler Suraj Randiv's apology after the latter went up to his room and apologised for the deliberately bowled no-ball off the last ball to deny Sehwag his thirteenth ODI century.
While Sehwag confirmed it via Twitter, Indian manager, Ranjib Biswal spoke to reporters when he spoke about the Sri Lankan captain, Kumar Sangakkara, making his regret known to the Indian caoch, Gary Kirsten, and about the Sri Lankan Cricket board ordering a probe into the inquiry about violating the spirit of cricket for which Sri Lanka have had a good record, "Today in the morning, Sri Lanka Cricket secretary Nishantha Ranatunga called me up expressing his regret about yesterday's no-ball incident. He expressed his regret officially and asked me to convey it to the Indian team, particularly to Sehwag. They have also assured that they will look into the matter officially, why it happened and correct the procedure.
"Randiv has himself gone to Sehwag's room and apologised for his action. I believe Sanga ( Kumar Sangakkara ) has spoke to Gary ( Kirsten ) and expressed his regret. So basically, it was done in the spur of the moment and once that action seeped in, people realised that they have made a mistake and they have come forward and expressed their apology."
Biswal also confirmed that the BCCI was not interested in pursuing the matter.
