SL bowler Madushanka sidelined from Asia Cup with injury.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka left-arm seamer Dilshan Madushanka will miss the Asia Cup due to injury in yet another blow to the co-hosts’ title defence, according to media reports.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka have been ravaged by injuries to their frontline bowlers ahead of their opener against Bangladesh in Pallekele on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Seamer Dushmantha Chameera will also miss the tournament with a shoulder injury, while spinner Wanindu Hasaranga will sit out the group stage with a thigh strain, according to earlier reports.<\/p>\n

Fast bowler Lahiru Kumara is also doubtful with a recurring side strain.<\/p>\n

Reuters has contacted Sri Lanka Cricket for comment.<\/p>\n

Cricket website ESPNcricinfo<\/em>, citing SLC’s chairman of the medical committee, said Madushanka could face a long spell on the sidelines having torn an oblique muscle during a practice match.<\/p>\n

Kasun Rajitha, Pramod Madushan, and Matheesha Pathirana are likely to be called in to shore up Sri Lanka’s bowling unit.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka and Pakistan are co-hosting the Aug. 30 to Sept. 17 tournament, which also includes India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
