"...Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to announce that it is disappointed to hear of such an incident and SLC will discuss with the manager of Sri Lanka 'A' Team. An inquiry will be conducted based on the manager's report and disciplinary action will be taken on the player concerned if found guilty," read a statement from SLC.
Media reports said a drunken Sri Lankan cricketer caused panic on a packed British Airways flight when he tried to open the cabin door at 35,000 feet.
The Sri Lanka ‘A’ team was on a tour of the West Indies, playing two four-day 'Tests' and 50-over and Twenty20 internationals.
