IND vs SL: BIG BLOW for Sri Lanka, Wanindu Hasaranga returns home – In what comes as a big blow for Sri Lanka, star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga is all set to miss the T20I series as he is returning home from Australia. Follow IND vs SL live updates on InsideSport.IN.

Hasaranga, who is one of the most sought-after players in the shortest format of the game, tested positive for COVID-19 in the tour of Australia earlier this month. He had to miss the last three matches of that series and also did not feature in the first T20I against India, which took place on Friday at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium.

However, it has now been revealed that Hasaranga has not made a full recovery and given the necessary quarantine guidelines, it has been decided that the 24-year-old will return home instead of joining the Sri Lankan camp that is currently at Dharamshala. The Lions lost the first T20I by 62 runs, and in the absence of their number one match-winner, their chances of making a comeback look very slim.
