Sri Lanka seamer Farveez Maharoof says the tourist have not been unfocused by a report that Upul Tharanga failed a drugs test during the ICC World Cup.
A Colombo newspaper made the accusation on Sunday and said that Tharanga, who made an winning century in the severe 10-wicket win over England in the World Cup quarter-finals, had already selected a lawyer to represent him at an International Cricket Council hearing.
But the ICC would not remark when asked about the report and Maharoof, part of the Sri Lanka squad currently playing in the first Test against England in Cardiff, which does not comprise Tharanga, said: "It has not been a interruption at all. We have not spoken about it.
"As a team we are here to do a job and we are here to have a good Test match and to try to do well and not worry about what is going on outside.
"He (Tharanga) is a nice guy, a quiet guy who has come over to the UK a few times and played well and he did well at the last ICC World Cup." "He is an recognized opening batsman in our team and he is a genuine guy."
