Colombo: Things aren’t going aright for Sri Lankan cricket as all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the ongoing three-match ODI series against India due to a hamstring injury. Hasaranga becomes the fifth Sri Lankan player to be ruled out of the series after Matheesha Pathirana, Dilshan Madushanka, Dushmantha Chameera and Nuwan Thushara.
Hasaranga suffered the injury during the first ODI against India where he was seen holding his hamstring during the final delivery of his spell. With the first ODI ending in a thrilling tie, India and Sri Lanka will face off in the second ODI here at the R Premadasa Stadium on Sunday.

Jeffrey Vandersay has been named the replacement for the all-rounder whose exit depletes the Sri Lankan bowling attack. “Wanindu Hasaranga will miss the remainder of the ODI series, as the player has suffered an injury to his left hamstring,” a release from Sri Lanka Cricket informed in a release.

“He experienced pain in his left hamstring while delivering the last ball of his 10th over during the first ODI. An MRI performed on the player, following this, confirmed the injury. Jeffrey Vandersay comes into the squad in place of Hasaranga,” the release added.

The 34-year-old Vandersay played the last of his 22 ODIs for Sri Lanka in January this year against Zimbabwe. The third and final ODI will be played at the same venue on August 7.
