Dhammika Prasad ruled out of first England Test
Sri Lanka pacer, Dhammika Prasad has
been ruled out of the first Test against
England in Headingley. The 32-year-
old had injured his shoulder during Sri
Lanka's practice game against Essex
last week. He was subsequently ruled
out of the second warm-up game
against against Leicestershire, but he
now faces a longer spell on the
sidelines.
"He's not available for the first Test
and it's an ongoing assessment, on a
daily basis," he said. "I am hoping that
we can get him bowling again fairly
soon. Then we'll have to build him up
and get quite a number of overs
bowled in the nets in order to prepare
him for potentially the second and
third Test," Sri Lanka coach Graham
Ford confirmed.
Incidentally, Prasad took a five-fer (5
for 50) in Sri Lanka's historic series-
clinching triumph in Leeds during the
2014 tour --
