Another blow to the Sri Lankan team, due to a back injury, Herath out of the third Test

The Sri Lankan team is facing another setback to the pain of losing the second Test against India. The team’s leading spin bowler Rangana Herath has been out of the series due to injury in the back. Clearly, Herath will not be part of the team in the third and final Test to be played in Pallekele.

The Sri Lankan team players are constantly getting separated from the team for health reasons. Due to thumb injury at the beginning of the series, the batsmen have been out of the team due to Gunnarten. Apart from this, Suranga Lakmal was not able to play due to pain and Nuwan Pradeep due to hamstrings. Captain Dinesh Chandimal also did not play due to pneumonia in the first Test. Now, what player will be given the place of Herath, it is not yet clear.

According to information, Herath is complained of back pain and the Lanka team does not want to take risks with the most important bowler in the series against India. That’s why he has been rested. Along with this, Sri Lanka has to play a lot of cricket this season, it is important to have Herath fit. Let’s tell you that Herath is at the third position in the ICC Rankings of bowlers.

India has proved hostile to the host team in all the areas in the current series. By winning both the Test matches, the team has already made the series itself. After winning the first Test by 304 runs, India defeated Sri Lanka by an innings and 53 runs in the second Test. After being out of Herath, the host team’s bowling has become weak. Now, Team India will come out with the intention of clean sweep in the third Test starting on August 12.
