Sri Lanka have been dealt a huge blow ahead of the T20I and ODI series against India starting from July 27. Their fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera has been ruled out of both series and their chief selector Upul Tharanga has confirmed the development as well. Chameera is Sri Lanka’s highest wicket-taker in T20Is against India and the hosts will miss him during the series.
For the unversed, India’s T20I series against Sri Lanka is set to commence on July 27 with all three matches to be played in Pallekele. This is the first assignment for India’s full-time head coach Gautam Gambhir and Sri Lanka’s interim head coach Sanath Jayasuriya. Coming back to Chameera’s injury, Tharanga confirmed that they will soon name Chameera’s replacement in T20I squad.
