Asia Cup Final: Sri Lanka's Maheesh Theekshana ruled out of match against India
Sri Lanka have been dealt with a blow ahead of the 2023 Asia Cup final after spinner Maheesh Theekshana was ruled out of the tournament decider with a hamstring injury.
Theekshana had sustained the injury while trying to prevent a boundary during Sri Lanka’s Super Four match against Pakistan. In spite of the injury, Theekshana went onto register figures of 1/42 from nine overs.
“Maheesh Theekshana, who strained his right hamstring during the game against Pakistan, will not be available for the finals,” said a statement released by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).
“A scan was done and confirmed the muscle injury. Sri Lanka Cricket Selectors have brought in Sahan Arachchige into the squad in place of Theekshana.
“Theekshana will return to the High Performance Center to commence rehabilitation work,” it added.
