As Lahiru Madushanka, the 29-year-old fast-bowling all-rounder who had been named in the 15-member Sri Lanka squad for next month’s T20 World Cup, is injured, he will most likely be replaced by wicketkeeper-opening bat Minod Bhanuka.
Yet, the injured former Skipper Kusal Perera is reportedly fit for the World Cup.
Sri Lanka are to leave for the T20 World Cup, to be held this time in UAE and Oman, in the first week of October. The tournament will be held from 17 October to 14 November.
