Sri Lankan opener Kusal Janith Perera has been ruled out of the tri-nation ODI series in Bangladesh, the Sri lanka Cricket announced. 

Sources said the Sri Lanka opener suffered with a side strain while batting during the last match against Zimbabwe. 

Perera is the second senior player to opt out of the tournament due to an injury. Sri Lankan captain Angelo Mathews also returned to the country yesterday due to a hamstring injury. 

Dhananjaya de Silva has been called in to replace Perera in the rest of the series.
