The ICC Technical Committee has approved the inclusion of Dilshan Madushanka as a replacement for injured Sri Lanka fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.

Pathirana has been ruled out of the remainder of the tournament due to a hamstring injury in his left leg. The injury reportedly occurred during Sri Lanka’s match against Australia national cricket team on the 16th.

As a result of the setback, Sri Lanka has brought in Madushanka to strengthen their pace attack for the rest of the competition, with official approval granted by the ICC Technical Committee.
