Seamer Dushmantha Chameera has been ruled out of the Indian series to due to injury.

Dushmantha Chameera has been ruled out of the upcoming white-ball series against India, which is set to begin this Saturday in Pallekele. The fast bowler, known for his speed and precision, was initially named in Sri Lanka's 16-man squad for the three-match T20 series. However, Chief Selector Upul Tharanga announced that Chameera has contracted the flu and will not be participating in the series.

Chameera's absence is a significant blow to the team, as his experience and skill set are crucial in white-ball cricket. His ability to deliver at high speeds and his knack for taking early wickets would have been vital in countering India's strong batting lineup. The team management is considering a potential replacement and an announcement is expected shortly.
