In a hilarious incident, ICC accused Sri Lanka of using an extra-fielder on day 3 of the second Test between Sri Lanka and England. ICC took to social media to share a pic of the ‘Monitor Lizard’ appearing on the boundary line during the SL vs ENG and second Test and wrote they were reviewing the incident. "The ICC is reviewing reports that Sri Lanka used an extra fielder against England in Galle today. The situation will be 'monitored'", ICC cheekily wrote after sharing the picture of the Monitor Lizard.
