Only 48 hours are left for the start of the T20 series between India and Sri Lanka, but even before that, the host Sri Lankan team is in big trouble. The Sri Lankan team has lost two of its players in 24 hours before the start of the T20 series. On Wednesday, Sri Lankan fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera was ruled out due to injury and now on Thursday, fast bowler Nuwan Thushara is also out of the T20 series. Nuwan Thushara suffered a painful injury during practice, due to which he will now be away from the cricket field for the next few days.
According to media reports, Nuwan Tushara got injured during the practice session on Wednesday.
Tushara was practicing fielding and during this time his left hand finger broke. The finger is fractured and it may take time for him to recover from this injury. Tushara's exclusion is a big setback for Sri Lanka as this player is a big wicket-taker in T20. Recently, this player took 8 wickets including a hat-trick in 3 matches in the T20 World Cup. Tushara also played for Mumbai Indians in the IPL and he spent a lot of time with Rohit-Hardik Pandya.The Sri Lankan team has not yet announced the player who will replace Nuwan Thushara, but it is believed that left-arm fast bowler Dilshan Madhushanka can be given a chance in the T20 team.
Talking about Dushmantha Chameera, Asitha Fernando has got a place in the team in his place. The T20 series between India and Sri Lanka will start from July 27. After this, a three-match ODI series will be played next month. Talking about Dushmantha Chameera, Asitha Fernando has got a place in the team in his place.
