The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will impose a 50% and 30% fine on the match fee on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Tilak Varma. The sanctions have been recommended by match referee Pradeep Jeyapragash after Sooryavanshi had engaged in a physical altercation with Vishen Halambage during the India A vs Sri Lanka A match on June 15 in Dambulla.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi fined for fight
The nail-biter of a game went to a Super Over and the hosts emerged victorious. During the customary post-match handshakes, Halambage allegedly told Sooryavanshi, “Go home. This is not the IPL.” The teenager had been on the receiving end of sledging during the match and in the previous encounter on June 9 and finally broke after a close defeat.

— Abhi (@AbhiMSD_07) June 15, 2026He charged at Halambage and shoved him back. The Sri Lanka A retaliated similarly. However, other players intervened before the fight could get out of hand. The BCCI wasn’t keen on punishing Sooryavanshi. But the board will fine him. Halambage’s match fee will also be docked by 50%.
“India A is playing a major tournament; all the upcoming players who can stake their claim for the Indian senior team are in the midst of a very big tournament, a tri-nation series, so they should concentrate on their game rather than getting distracted from [sic.] any collateral issues,” Saikia told The Times of India.
Tilak Varma punished for arguing with umpires
For the unversed, the International Cricket Council (ICC) doesn’t impose sanctions for ‘A’ matches, and it’s upon the respective boards to take charge. India A captain Tilak Varma argued with on-field umpires on multiple occasions. First regarding the Super Over, then a no-ball call and finally about bad light. He’s been fined 30% of his match fee.
Sri Lanka A wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella will be handed a 20% fine by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). However, it’s unknown for what. Dickwella had actually stopped the fight between Sooryavanshi and Halambage.
