Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilake, who recently returned to Sri Lanka after being acquitted of rape charges by a Sydney court, has announced his intent to take legal action against the Australian State to recover the legal fees incurred during his legal battle.

Gunathilake, who returned to his homeland yesterday, asserted his determination to seek reimbursement for the expenses associated with his legal defense. His decision comes in the wake of the court's verdict, which declared him not guilty of the charges brought against him.

In response to inquiries about the foreign woman who accompanied him on his return to Sri Lanka, Gunathilake declined to provide any comments or disclose further details.

Expressing his aspiration to resume his cricketing career, Gunathilake stated that he was unaware of any specific conditions or requirements imposed by the authorities for his potential return to the national cricket team.
