Having already served a one-match ban for the tampering, Chandimal is likely to receive further punishment over a Spirit of Cricket charge due to the team's refusal to take the field for two hours on day three.
Sri Lanka sports minister Faiszer Mustapha, under whose oversight SLC is temporarily functioning, said the ICC sanctions alone would be sufficient.
"Sri Lanka Cricket and the ministry of sports worked on the premise that Chandimal was innocent," Mustapha was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
"As you know, when there is adjudication, we have to respect it. Chandimal had allegations made against him, and there was due process. There was a certain order. We appealed against it, and we respect the decision."
