T20 WC 2026: Madushan Approved As Replacement For Malinga In Sri Lanka Squad

By IANS News February 06, 2026 • 23:58 PM View: 153

The Event Technical Committee: The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Friday approved Pramod Madushan as a replacement for Eshan Malinga in the Sri Lanka squad.

"Madushan, a medium-fast bowler who has played 13 ODIs and eight T20Is, was named as a replacement after Malinga was ruled out following a shoulder injury sustained during the bilateral T20I against England on 1 February," ICC said in a statement.

The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee (ETC) before the player can be officially added to the squad.
