Tournament committee sources said that pending the outcome of an inquiry, Old Dharmapalians face immediate suspension from participating in the division I (Segment 'B') tournament which is presently on and, points gained against them by other clubs, withdrawn.
Old Dharmapalians were to host Kandy CC in a tournament match scheduled to begin on January 10 at Athurugiriya Steel Corporation grounds.
However, the umpires found the matting pitch unsuitable and dangerous for play and called off the match.
Tournament committee sources said that Old Dharmapalians have violated 8.5 (Part 'A') 'Fixtures/Venues/Pitches/Facilities' and 5.2 (e) (Part 'B') 'The Players' of its rules and conditions.
The inquiry is scheduled to take place today and the tournament committees recommendations on it will be submitted to the ExCo.
Division I Sara trophy (Segment 'A') champions, CCC were earlier suspended from the tournament for not providing a proper pitch for their game against SSC on November 28 at Maitland Crescent.
