Arjuna de Silva, Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) medical panel head, provided an update on Wanindu Hasaranga’s injury. The star spinner is currently dealing with the hamstring injury he sustained during the Lankan Premier League (LPL 2023) playoffs in August, which also kept him out of Sri Lanka’s recent Asia Cup campaign in which they finished as runners-up.
“We are consulting foreign doctors to see whether he needs surgery or not. If he does, he will be out for at least three months. At the moment, the situation is not that great and it’s highly unlikely that he can play the World Cup,” Arjuna de Silva told The Sunday Times newspaper in Sri Lanka.
“Since he is a key weapon in our attack, we are looking at other options to see how best we can get his services at least for important games. All that depends on the opinions of the consultant to whom we are trying to show his reports,” he added.
