SL vs Ind, 2nd Test – Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal out; Pathum Nissanka unlikely

“Kusal Mendis has a proper hamstring injury, and will not be available for a while,” Sri Lanka coach Gary Kirsten said. “Dinesh is also not available for the next Test. So we’re missing a few guys from that perspective, but it creates a good opportunity for young players to come in and stake their claim. There are players who have got really good first-class records in this country. It’s a good opportunity for them.”
