The ICC has agreed to support Sri Lanka Cricket and Kusal Pereras claim for costs and damages from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), SLC president Thilanga Sumathipala has said.Perera had been suspended after a Qatar-based lab found a banned substance in his urine sample, but the doping charges were dropped in May when an independent analyst found that the WADA-accredited labs findings were not sustainable.Though the ICC had previously said it does not accept that it is responsible for the consequences the labs findings, SLC believes it has got the ICCs support in its attempt to obtain both costs and compensation from WADA itself.Sumathipala said the boards request for compensation for Perera received widespread support at the recent ICC meeting in Edinburgh.We appealed to the ICC about the injustice that had happened to Kusal, and we were given an audience at the CEOs meeting. I must say the committee comprising of the CEOs unanimously supported our claim, he said. Then it came to the board meeting, and at the board meeting we made the appeal that there should be compensation - not just the cost. It was decided that the costs and the compensation should be paid to him, because the ICC took the position that the claim made by Kusal is fair and justifiable. ICC decided to stand by Sri Lanka Cricket and support the claim.SLC said it spent about 13 million Sri Lankan rupees (US $92,000 approx) on fighting the case. The player himself is expected to pay this figure back to the board, according to Pereras management. The board, however, has been adamant that those responsible for the imposition of the five-month suspension on Perera should ultimately bear the costs. Sumathipala suggested that no less than 35 million rupees (US $246,000) was appropriate, given Pereras loss of earnings during the suspension, and the damage to his reputation.This kind of compensation has never ever been paid to anybody in the history of cricket, Sumathipala said. The ICC and SLC are together in this - the money is ultimately coming from WADA, through the ICC, to Kusal. It is a new experience for WADA as well.Sumathipala said the board was optimistic WADA would provide compensation, as it has already accepted there was a flaw in its processes. I dont think we will have to go to court over it, he said. According to Sumathipala, the ICC and WADA have also blacklisted the Qatar-based lab.Discussions with WADA are believed to be in their very early stages, though, and Perera himself is yet to be brought up to speed on the situation. SLC officials are expected to meet with Perera and his management after the player returns from the England tour on Thursday.Perera missed a full tour of New Zealand, bilateral T20s against India, the Asia Cup and the World T20 as a result of the suspension. He was also ineligible for this years IPL auction, as well as the initial Test squad for England as he had only recently returned to training. Cheap Blue Jays Jerseys .

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Deshaun Watson tied his career high with six touchdown passes, three to Mike Williams, and No. 4 Clemson took another, strong step to the College Football Playoff with a 56-7 victory over rival South Carolina on Saturday night.If the Tigers (11-1) dont stumble against Virginia Tech next week in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship, theyll be off to college footballs final four for a second straight season.The Gamecocks (6-6) were little more than speed bump on that road that Clemson got past quickly, jumping out to a 21-0 lead in the opening quarter and cruising to a third straight win in the Palmetto States biggest sporting event.We wanted to jump on these boys real quick, Watson said. Thats the motto every game, put pressure on them and have them back on their heels.Watson finished with 347 yards and matched the six TDs he threw in his first college start against North Carolina in 2014. He also likely crept a bit closer in the Heisman Trophy race to Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, whose team lost for a second straight week.Watson and the Tigers also wiped out memories of their last Death Valley game, a stunning, 43-42 loss to underdog Pitt -- Clemsons first home loss in more than three years.We started the ball rolling last week and were keeping the ball rolling, center Jay Guillermo said.

On the road recruiting tomorrow, thats the way well change our program.THE TAKEAWAYSouth Carolina certainly made strides over the second half with young players on offense like quarterback Jake Bentley and tailback Rico Dowdle. The Gamecocks will need to add a lot more talent on both sides of the ball before it can match up with the Tigers. Another month of practice and a favorable bowl opponent would still leave South Carolina feeling good about its progress this season.Clemson found its dominating form in its final home game of the season after its stunning, 43-42 fall to Pitt the last time here two weeks ago. More importantly, the Tigers showed a resolved it will need for a second straight trip to the College Football Playoff. If Clemson shows the same drive against Virginia Tech, theres no doubt it will play once again for a national title.POLL IMPLICATIONSLook for Clemson to move up a spot with No. 3 Michigans loss to second-ranked Ohio State.UP NEXTSouth Carolina will await its bowl destination.Clemson will face Virginia Tech in the ACC championship game in Orlando, Florida, next Saturday night.
