After Jasprit Bumrah, Harshal Patel, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Sri Lanka pacer Dushmantha Chameera has been ruled out of the Asia Cup due to his injury. Sri Lanka’s lead pacer, who can crank it up to 150kmph will now watch his team from side-lines play the continental Cup as he became the latest casualty. Lankan team fielding coach Anton Roux posted a heartfelt note for Chameera wishing him a speedy recovery. He also said the Lankan pacer will mostly be fit enough for the T20 World Cup 2022.

Asia Cup 2022 Live: Chameera’s injury a body blow for Sri Lanka
- Chameera is the team’s premier fast bowler with a good amount of T20 experience.
- He has played 50 T20Is and picked up 48 wickets at an average of 30.27.
- The 30-year-old’s economy rate is also pretty good giving just eight runs per over.
- Chameera also was in good form in the T20 format as he had good IPL 2022 scalping nine wickets in 12 games for LSG.
- Now, Sri Lanka will have to do without their talismanic player during the Asia Cup.
Sri Lanka recently announced a 20-member squad for Asia Cup with three players as standby. By the looks of it, one of the players will replace Chameera in the main squad.
