The foreign owner of the Dambulla Thunders Lanka Premier League (LPL) team has been arrested over alleged match fixing.

The AFP news agency reported that Tamim Rahman, owner of Dambulla Thunders and a British national of Bangladesh origin, was stopped at the country's main airport before he boarded a flight to Dubai, Police said.

He was arrested following a court order to detain him on suspicion of match fixing, police and immigration officials told AFP.

Rahman was remanded in custody till May 31 pending further investigations.

He was being investigated under two provisions of the sports act related to match fixing and attempting to organise betting.

A special police unit dealing with corruption in sports carried out the arrest, the first involving an official of the LPL tournament since it began four years ago.

Those convicted under the sports act face potential heavy fines and jail sentences of up to 10 years. (AFP / Colombo Gazette)
