Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne will possibly be missing the second match of the current ICC World Test Championship series against England, according to coach Mickey Arthur. After the 7-wicket loss in Galle, Arthur gave an inform on Karunaratane’s injury and said that the team management will take the final call soon.
Dimuth Karunaratne scored a century for Sri Lanka at The Wanderers Test against South Africa before the month. Sadly, under that knock, he is in pain with a hairline fracture in his left thumb. The skipper missed the first Test against England because of that pain, and he might miss the entire series now.
After intimating Dimuth Karunaratane was improbable to feature in the second Test match, coach Arthur added:
“We will make a decision over the next day or two.”
