Eshan Malinga Ruled Out Of SL Vs ENG 5th T20I Due To Shoulder Injury, T20 WC Selection Doubtful
Sri Lanka Cricket: Sri Lanka have been dealt an injury setback ahead of the final T20I against England, with Eshan Malinga ruled out of Tuesday’s match after suffering a dislocated shoulder, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) confirmed.
The 24-year-old seamer also faces a race against time to be fit for the upcoming World Cup, after sustaining the injury during Sunday’s defeat to England in Pallekele. The incident unfolded in an unusual fashion during the eighth over of England’s run chase, shortly after play resumed following a prolonged rain delay.
Malinga was bowling the first delivery of the over when he appeared to jar his left, non-bowling shoulder at the point of release. He immediately clutched his shoulder and collapsed to the turf midway through his follow-through. The ball itself sailed above waist height and was called a no-ball by the on-field umpire.
