(Reuters) - Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal has been suspended for the third and final test against West Indies after being found guilty of changing the condition of the ball in the second test, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Tuesday.

Chandimal was charged during the test in St Lucia after video evidence indicated that he was taking sweets out from his pocket, putting them in his mouth, before applying saliva to the ball within the space of a few seconds.
