Wanindu Hasaranga likely to miss T20 World Cup

February 10 (Citizen.lk News) - Sri Lanka’s premier leg-spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga, is likely to miss the remainder of the T20 World Cup following a leg muscle injury.

The injury was sustained during Sri Lanka’s opening match against Ireland on the 8th, which the island nation won by 20 runs.

Sources within Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) indicate that all-rounder Dushan Hemantha is set to join the squad as Hasaranga’s replacement.
