Manjot Kalra, former India Under-19 cricketer and Jaffna Kings co-owner, was denied bail by a Colombo court in an LPL match-fixing case.
Kalra and Yuvraj Pushpa will remain in custody until July 31 as the Sri Lanka Police's Special Investigation Unit continues its probe.
The investigation involves allegations that players in LPL 2026 were approached to manipulate matches, with five Sri Lankan cricketers now part of the complaint.
Prosecution opposed bail citing ongoing investigation, while defence sought release on medical grounds.
