Prasanna ruled out of the series
1st Test Centurion Prasanna Jayawardena has been ruled out of the remainder of the Test series against Pakistan in UAE due to an injury to his lower right abdomen. His place will be taken by Wicket Keeper batsman Kaushal Silva.
Jayawardena made a match saving 120 in the 1st Test putting a double century stand for the sixth wicket with star batsman Kumar Sangakkara. Sri Lankan team management has decided to rest Fast Bowler Nuwan Pradeep by bringing in Dhammika Prasad for today’s game to be played in Dubai.
