Sri Lanka are likely to miss the services of former captain Angelo Mathews for the second Test against Pakistan that gets underway in Dubai on October 6. Mathews had hurt his calf muscle during training in Colombo ahead of the series and although the team management was hopeful that he will make it to the second Test, the situation does look bleak now.
“Angelo will undergo a fitness test in Colombo on Monday and then we will know for sure, but it is very unlikely that he will play the second Test. The physiotherapist is not confident that he will make it before the second Test,” a Sri Lanka Cricket source told Cricbuzz.
