Sport

Limited Overs skipper Angelo Mathews will miss the rest of the ongoing Tri-Nation Series in Bangladesh after suffering a hamstring injury according to reliable sources.

Mathews suffered the injury during Sri Lanka's match against Zimbabwe on Wednesday (17), where the game was won by the African nation by 12 runs.

"Sri Lankan White-Ball captain Angelo Mathews is currently being treated for a right hamstring tightness. The hamstring tightness has occurred, while Mathews was batting in yesterday’s Sri Lanka – Zimbabwe Match of the ongoing Tri-Series in Bangladesh," a press release issued by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) stated.

"According to the team management, Mathews is currently being monitored and a decision on his participation in the next game will be taken by tomorrow (19)."

Mathews has been going through the similar setback from time to time and the last occasion where he had to withdraw from a tour was in India in December, 2017.

Dinesh Chandimal is likely to lead the team for the rest of the series.

According to reliable sources Mathews is expected to return home today (18).
