Sri Lanka youth cricketers bailed over alleged hotel filming

Colombo, 1 May- Two members of the Sri Lanka men's under-19 cricket squad have been bailed following their arrest for allegedly filming women hotel guests while showering, a board official said on Friday.

Sri Lanka Cricket has launched its own investigation into the alleged incident, which was reported on Wednesday at a hotel in the capital Colombo where the team was staying during practice sessions ahead of a local tournament.

"We are looking into this while the police investigation and court proceedings are ongoing," a board official told AFP.

The two players -- who have not been named -- appeared before a magistrate on Thursday and were released on bail.

The court ordered their mobile phones to be sent for forensic examination to determine whether any of the videos were uploaded to social media.BSS
