Hasaranga to cut England tour short due to injury concerns
Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga will return home early from the ongoing England series after reporting muscle stiffness and spasms. The decision comes as the player seeks medical attention for the recurring issue.
LSN Sri Lanka ·
Wanindu Hasaranga, a key member of Sri Lanka's cricket squad, is set to depart the England tour ahead of schedule to address muscular complications that have affected his performance.
The all-rounder has been experiencing persistent stiffness and spasms during the series, prompting the Sri Lanka Cricket board and the player to prioritize his long-term fitness over continued participation in the current fixtures.
Hasharanga's early departure marks another setback in what has been a challenging tour for the Sri Lankan contingent in England. The 25-year-old has been an integral part of the national team across all three formats, and his absence will impact the squad's balance for the remainder of the series.
The player is expected to undergo further medical assessment upon his return to Sri Lanka to determine the extent of the injury and the timeline for his return to competitive cricket. No replacement has been announced at this stage for the remainder of the England tour.
