Team India, captained by Suryakumar Yadav, is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka, where the three-match T20 series is near. The first match of the series will be played on 27 July. Team India is busy preparing for it. Meanwhile, such a news has come out, which has given a big blow to the Sri Lankan team. It has been revealed that just three days before the series, fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera has been ruled out of the entire series. However, the Sri Lanka Cricket Board has not yet announced any replacement.
Dushmantha Chameera ruled out of India vs Sri Lanka series
The Sri Lanka Cricket Board on Tuesday announced the squad for the three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka. Charith Asalanka has been given the command of the team as Wanindu Hasaranga has announced to step down from captaincy after poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024. Dushmantha Chameera was also included in this team, but now the news is coming that Dushmantha Chameera is injured. The cause of the injury is not yet known. Sri Lanka has not yet announced its location.
Most wickets taken in T20 Internationals against India
Dushmantha Chameera's exclusion can be a big problem for Sri Lanka as he is the highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka in T20 Internationals against India. He has played 15 T20 Internationals against India so far and has taken 16 wickets. He could have been a trump card for Sri Lanka in this series, but he has already been ruled out due to injury. However, the team announced by the Sri Lankan board for this series is very strong. Young and experienced players have been given place in the team.
