Sri Lanka: India and Sri Lanka will play a three-match ODI series from August 2. Before this, they played a three-match T20 series. Team India clean swept Sri Lanka. In such a situation, a similar performance is expected from them in the ODI series as well.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka would like to forget the T20 defeat and give a tough fight to the Indian team in the ODI series. However, before the upcoming series, a bad news is coming for the host team. Two fast bowlers of their team have already been ruled out. The team management has also announced their replacement. Let us know about them in detail.

Sri Lanka suffered a setback before the ODI series

A bad news is coming for Sri Lanka before the first ODI to be played with Team India on August 2. Actually, two important players of the team are out. The heart of the fast bowling department, Mathisha Pathirana and Dilshan Madhushanka will not be able to participate in the upcoming series due to injury.

Pathirana has suffered an injury to his right shoulder. Madhushanka has been ruled out of the team due to a hamstring strain. Let us tell you that in IPL 2024, Pathirana was a part of CSK while Madhushanka was a part of Mumbai Indians. Sri Lanka's hopes rested on these two pacers. In such a situation, the exclusion of both of them is considered a big setback for the team.
