Hamstring Injury Rules Wanindu Hasaranga Out Of T20I Series Against Bangladesh
Sri Lanka T20I: Sri Lanka will be without their star leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga for the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh, starting Thursday, after the bowler suffered a hamstring injury during the final One-day International (ODI) of the recently-concluded series.
Hasaranga sustained the injury to his right leg while batting in the third ODI, forcing him out of the T20I leg of the tour. The 26-year-old played a pivotal role in the opening ODI, triggering a dramatic Bangladeshi collapse with a match-defining spell that laid the foundation for Sri Lanka's 2-1 series win.
Despite his importance to the side, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has not announced any replacement. Hasaranga will return to Colombo and begin his rehabilitation process at the High Performance Center (HPC) with hopes of being fit for the upcoming international assignments later this year.
