In a last-minute addition to the Sri Lankan cricket squad, fast bowler Pramod Madushan has been included as a travelling reserve just days before the crucial World Cup fixture against host country India in Mumbai. This development comes as Sri Lanka faces challenges with player injuries, and two other traveling reserves, Angelo Mathews and Dushmantha Chameera, have been elevated to the active squad as injury replacements.
Sri Lanka's cricket team, preparing for the highly anticipated clash with India, found themselves grappling with a series of unfortunate injuries to key players. In response, the decision was made to call upon the talented Pramod Madushan to join the squad as a travelling reserve. Madushan, known for his wicket-taking abilities, is expected to provide added depth to Sri Lanka's fast-bowling options and bolster their chances in the forthcoming match.
Angelo Mathews and Dushmantha Chameera, who were initially traveling reserves, have been drafted into the active team to address the gaps left by injured players. This strategic move aims to ensure that Sri Lanka fields a competitive squad against the formidable Indian side.
The Sri Lankan team, under the captaincy of Kusal Mendis, will be keenly watched as they go head-to-head with the host nation in what promises to be an electrifying encounter
