COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka cricketers Tillakaratne Dilshan and Thisara Perera have been fined and reprimanded for disciplinary breaches during the first one-day international against England, the International Cricket Council said on Thursday.

While former captain Dilshan will lose 25 percent of his match fee for excessive appealing, all-rounder Perera was docked 20 percent for bringing the game into disrepute.
