After suffering a quadriceps rupture on the night of Sri Lanka's opening encounter in the T20 World Cup, left-arm seamer Dilshan Madushanka is probably out of the competition. The injury was verified by an MRI after Madushanka was observed staggering away from practice on Saturday. He won't likely be able to heal in time to participate in the World Cup and will most likely be replaced.
In the most recent Asia Cup, Madushanka made his debut for his country and made an impression. He took six wickets and had a 7.75 economy rate throughout the course of six games. He may have replaced Dushmantha Chameera as Sri Lanka's backup fast because he added exciting speed and swing to the powerplay overs and variation toward the end. Despite winning the recent Asia Cup, Sri Lanka must play in the World Cup's preliminary round, where they will face Namibia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Netherlands.
