The medical panel head of Team Sri Lanka gives a big update on Wanindu Hasaranga's injury
Medical panel head Arjuna de Silva of the Medical Panel gave an update on the injury of Wanindu Hasaranga and said that the team management is currently consulting foreign doctors to check whether the players need surgery or not, and it is likely that he will miss the upcoming ODI World Cup in India. Hasaranga is still suffering from the hamstring injury he sustained during last month's playoffs of the Lankan Premier League, and the 26-year-old sat out Sri Lanka's recent Asia Cup campaign that saw them finish as runner-up.
As per the statement of Sri Lanka medical panel head Arjuna de Silva, “We are consulting foreign doctors to see whether he needs surgery or not. If he does, he will be out for at least three months. At the moment, the situation is not that great, and it's highly unlikely that he can play in the World Cup.”
He further added that, “Since he is a key weapon in our attack, we are looking at other options to see how best we can get his services, at least for important games. All that depends on the opinions of the consultant to whom we are trying to show his reports.”
