Sri Lanka spinner Mahesh Theekshana has been ruled out of the Asia Cup final against India due to injury, captain Dasun Shanaka confirmed on Saturday.
Theekshana, 23, suffered a hamstring injury during the Super Four win over Pakistan, knocking her out of Sunday’s final of the 50-over tournament ahead of next month’s ICC World Cup in India.
“He will miss the game with a Grade 3 injury, but he will be there for the World Cup,” Shanaka told reporters on the eve of the title clash in Colombo.
