Fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera is expected to miss Sri Lanka’s first Test against India in Galle from August 12th to 16th because he has not recovered fully from a side strain that kept him out of the third Test against Pakistan and the five-match ODI series.
Chameera had bowled Sri Lanka to victory in the second Test against Pakistan at the P Sara Oval last month with a match haul of four wickets on debut, but suffered a side strain which has kept him out of international cricket since
.Chameera’s pace troubled the Pakistan batsmen and Wahab Riaz was sent home with a fractured wrist after being hit during the second Test.
Sri Lanka’s fast bowling coach Champaka Ramanayake said that 23-year-old Chameera was the most exciting fast-bowling find he had come across since Lasith Malinga.
