Sri Lanka loses second paceman in two days for India T20 tour
Nuwan Thushara, a Sri Lankan fast bowler, broke a finger in his left hand at training and will miss the T20I series against India. Team manager Mahinda Halangoda confirmed the non-bowling hand injury. However, it is bad enough to rule him out. Halangoda said the injury happened late Wednesday during Sri Lanka’s lit training. Thushara practiced fielding. He is the second Sri Lanka fast bowler out of the series. Sri Lanka replaced Dushmantha Chameera with Asitha Fernando on Wednesday due to illness.
Left-armer Dilshan Madushanka may replace Thushara. Thushara has been a Sri Lanka T20 regular. His eight wickets in Sri Lanka’s three World Cup matches made him a standout bowler. He scored a hat-trick in T20I earlier this year, going 5 for 20 against Bangladesh. Sri Lanka and India play their first T20 on Saturday.
