Sri Lanka vs Australia: Shaun Marsh ruled out due to injury; Usman Khawaja named replacement


Top-order batsman Shaun Marsh is returning home from Australia's tour of Sri Lanka with a broken little finger.

"Shaun suffered an injury to his left little finger whilst fielding," physiotherapist David Beakley said after Australia took a 2-1 lead in the five-match ODI series on Sunday.

"An X-ray after the match confirmed a fracture and Shaun will now return to Perth to allow time for this to heal."

Cricket Australia selectors confirmed Usman Khawaja would replace Marsh in the squad for the two T20 internationals against Sri Lanka.
Khawaja has been with the ODI squad on the south Asian island.

Pace bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile was forced home from the one-day series last week with a bone stress injury to his back.

Sri Lanka vs Australia: Allrounder Sachith Pathirana replaces retired Tillakaratne Dilshan for 4th ODI


Sri Lanka called up allrounder Sachith Pathirana to replace the retired Tillakaratne Dishan for the fourth one-day international against Australia.

Pathirana has played three ODIs, but his last appearance was more than a year ago. He has had limited success, scoring 33 runs and taking three wickets with his left-arm spin.

Dilshan retired from ODI cricket after the third match last Sunday, with 330 matches (fifth most for Sri Lanka) and 10,290 runs (fourth).

Australia leads the five-match series 2-1 and can seal the series with a win the fourth game in Dambulla on Wednesday.
