COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, Jan 19: Sri Lanka cricket captain Angelo Mathews has testified before police over a complaint that some national team players have been approached by a person with an offer to fix matches for money.

Financial crimes investigators interviewed Mathews for several hours Tuesday.

The questioning comes a day after Sri Lanka Cricket, the sport's local governing body, suspended senior bowling coach Anusha Samaranayake for links with a practice bowler who is said to have brought the offers.

Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath and opening batsman Kusal Perera are reported to have made the complaints over the approaches.

Samaranayake has been suspended for two months pending an inquiry.
