KKR: India and Sri Lanka will soon play a three-match T20 series. It is going to start from July 27. The first match will be held in Pallekele. Both the teams have announced their squads for the upcoming series.

While Suryakumar Yadav will lead Team India, Charith Aslanka will lead Sri Lanka. However, before the first match, a mountain of troubles has fallen on the Sri Lankan team. Actually, the team's main bowler and the star player who played for KKR last season has been injured and is out of the T20 and ODI series. Let's know about this player.

KKR player out of India-Sri Lanka series

Fast bowler Dushmanta Chameera, who played IPL 2024 for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), has had a career affected by injuries. He is also out of the upcoming India-Sri Lanka (IND vs SL) series. The 32-year-old player suffered an injury during the Lanka Premier League.

There were high expectations from Chameera (Dushmantha Chameera) that he would perform well during the T20 and ODI series against Team India. It is worth noting that he has made important contributions for Sri Lanka against India on many occasions before this. In such a situation, his exclusion would definitely have dampened the morale of the Sri Lankan team.
