Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka, who was recently freed from a sexual assault case in Australia, says he will file a civil case against the Australian State over his case.
Having arrived in Sri Lanka last night (Oct 03), following an 11-month period facing a trial in Sydney, the cricketer said as per the laws in Australia he cannot file a case seeking compensation from the woman who accused him.
Gunathilaka said, however, that a civil case can be filed against the Australian State, through which he can seek compensation for his legal fee during his trial.
The Sri Lankan cricketer said he expects to file a civil case against the Australian State soon.
Expressing regret in missing out on the Asia Cup and World Cup, Gunathilaka said he still has more to give back to the sport of cricket and expects to get back into training soon. (NewsWire)
