In a setback for Sri Lanka's cricket team, fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana has been ruled out of contention for selection in the upcoming 3rd T20 International match against Bangladesh.
The 21-year-old seamer sustained a Grade 1 hamstring injury in his left leg during the team's recent encounter.
The unfortunate injury occurred as Pathirana was delivering his bowling spell in the 2nd T20I match. Although the young cricketer's performance was promising, the physical strain led to the injury, sidelining him for the crucial upcoming fixture.
Pathirana's absence poses a challenge for the Sri Lankan team, who will need to reassess their bowling options ahead of the crucial match.
