Sri Lanka has been hit with a major setback as fast bowlers Matheesha Pathirana and Dilshan Madushanka have been ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against India due to injuries.
Matheesha Pathirana suffered a shoulder injury after diving in the field during the third T20I against India. This injury prevented him from bowling in the match and has now ruled him out of the ODI series.
Dilshan Madushanka has been sidelined after injuring his hamstring during a practice session.
These injuries add to Sri Lanka’s growing list of unavailable fast bowlers, as Dushmantha Chameera and Binura Fernando missed the T20 series due to illness, while Nuwan Thushara was ruled out after breaking his fingers.
With five fast bowlers now out of action, Sri Lanka faces a significant challenge as they prepare for the ODI series against favourites India. (NewsWire)
