Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka has returned to court a day before he asks it to review his bail conditions.

The 31-year-old is behind bars on remand after being charged with four counts of sexual intercourse without consent.

He was excused from appearing in Sydney Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday when the court was told there was a subpoena to obtain digital material from a government agency.

Magistrate Robert Williams granted access to a USB containing files of interest.

The cricketers’s defence lawyers will be able to access the files that include CCTV footage from a railway station.

Mr Gunathilaka has not entered any pleas to the charges. He was arrested outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel on November 6 as his team were set to depart Australia.

Mr Gunathilaka will return to Sydney Downing Centre Local Court on Thursday to request a review of his bail conditions.

He will be taking his bid for freedom to the Supreme Court next month after he was refused bail in the Local Court on November 7.

Next stage would be the massive compensation demand from the woman. This is typical of these women and our stupid guy did not realise it.

She has demanded 100,000 A$. In Australia, we have our brains in our heads and we use it. In Sri Lanka, you guys have brains in your arseholes and you shit it each time you go to bathroom, that's why almost 70% elected corrupt crooks to lead the country. In this guys case his brain is in his Penis only.

Lock him up for several months. Unlike SL he'll find out how real court system works. Someone who is used to Kangaroo courts where the clowns as judges and the criminals decides the outcome, this is going to be a lifetime experience for this piece of shit.

If this was SL and the women was Sri Lankan, she would have kept quiet as Sri Lankans on a whole are prejudice and further the justice system (Police

Respect for a women sexual or otherwise is not in the male Lankan mind-set

Don't worry the Australian will take care of it. It is not easy to play games with them.

I am abut surprised that someone used the name I normally use for comments .I am not a person who pass judgement on behavior and leave it to those who are able to do so

Danushka should learn that not knowing the law is not an excuse. This woman may have exploited the law, but it was there to stop crimes against women. After all, there are more women who get protection from this law than women who abuse it.

This waste of life will escape this time too, by paying the prostitute huge compensation, which might be collected from Cricket Board funds, or government funds, from us!
