The injury of Kumar
Sangakkara has come as a big blow for the Sri Lankan cricket team. Because of
his injury, he cannot play the rest of the matches in Sri Lanka’s tour of Australia. He had fractured his left hand after a ball from
Mitchell Johnson hit his left hand in the second Test match.
He had to go under
scan which had revealed a fracture on his left hand. He will have to go
under surgery that will require around six to eight weeks to get recovery.
It has prolonged Sri Lanka’s injury list. Other three players who had sustained
injury in the first two Test matches are Wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene, Chanaka
Welegedara and Nuwan Kulasekara.
After being struck by a Johnson
delivery, Prasanna Jayawardene sustained a hairline thumb fracture. Chanaka
Welegedara is suffering from hamstring injury while Nuwan Kulasekara hurt his
ribs and they are unlikely to be fit.
This injury list will put the
team management under immense pressure. They will have to face a lot of
problems to select the squad for the rest of the matches.
Sri Lankan cricket team
will have to find someone who can successfully replace Kumar Sangakkara.
It is the time to see if
young players can successfully replace the injured players.
