Dasun Shanaka, who was sidelined from the team due to a shoulder injury, was spotted bowling in the nets during a practice session. Shanaka's swift recovery has sparked optimism as Sri Lanka gears up for its upcoming World Cup matches.

Despite his temporary absence from the main squad, Shanaka had been retained as a travelling reserve for the World Cup. Known for his prowess as a fast bowling all-rounder, Shanaka's recent form had raised concerns. However, his return to the nets suggests a speedy recovery.

The sight of Shanaka actively participating in net sessions hints at the possibility of his return to the playing eleven, pending a medical evaluation. His inclusion would bring valuable experience and versatility to the Sri Lankan team.

In other developments, Sri Lanka's consultant coach, the legendary Mahela Jayawardena, has rejoined the team following a brief break. His return comes just in time for the crucial World Cup match against England.
