Crisis before India vs Sri Lanka series, this player is suddenly out!
India vs Sri Lanka T20I Series: Team India is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, where only a short time is left for the three-match T20 series to begin. The first match of the series is to be played on 27 July. Team India is busy preparing. Meanwhile, such a news has come out, which has given a big blow to the Sri Lankan team. Just three days before the series, it has come to light that fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera is out of the entire series. However, the Sri Lanka Cricket Board has not yet announced any replacement for him.
Dushmantha Chameera ruled out of India vs Sri Lanka series
The Sri Lanka Cricket Board announced the team on Tuesday for the three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka. Since Wanindu Hasaranga had announced to step down from captaincy after a poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, Charith Aslanka has been given the command of the team. Dushmantha Chameera was also included in this team, but now the news is coming that he will not be able to play the series. It is said that Dushmantha Chameera has been injured. The reason for the injury has not been revealed yet. Sri Lanka has not yet announced his replacement. He was playing in the recently going Lanka Premier League. He played five matches for Kandy Falcons. It is not clear whether he got injured during this time or after that.
Most wickets taken against India in T20 International
Dushmantha Chamika’s exclusion can be a big problem for Sri Lanka because he is the highest wicket-taker in T20 Internationals against India from Sri Lanka. He has taken 16 wickets in 15 T20 International matches against India so far. He could have been a trump card for Sri Lanka in this series, but he got injured and was ruled out before that. However, the team announced by the Sri Lankan board for this series is very strong. Young and experienced players have been given place in the team. On the other hand, the Indian team is preparing to enter this series with new enthusiasm and hope. Therefore, it is believed that the matches will be tough.
Sri Lanka squad for T20 series against India: Charith Asalanka (captain), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Mahesh Theekshana, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Mathisha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara, Binura Fernando.
