Sri Lankan fast bowler Nuwan Thushara will miss at least the T20I series against India after breaking a finger on his left hand during training. Dilshan Madushanka will join the team as his replacement.*
Team manager Mahinda Harangoda confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that Tusara’s injury occurred in the non-bowling position. However, the injury is serious enough to keep him out of the match. Harangoda said the injury occurred late Wednesday while the Sri Lankan team was training under lights. Tusara was doing fielding practice at the time.
He is the second Sri Lankan fast bowler to miss the series due to injury. Just on Wednesday, Sri Lanka announced that Dushmantha Chameera would miss the series due to illness and replaced him with Asita Fernando.
Sashara has been a part of Sri Lanka’s T20I XI this year. He was one of Sri Lanka’s best bowlers at the T20 World Cup, taking eight wickets in the three matches Sri Lanka played. He also took a T20I hat-trick against Bangladesh earlier this year, taking 5 for 20.
The first T20I match between Sri Lanka and India will be played on Saturday. (ESPN Cricinfo)
