Suspense on the play of Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis

Due to this injury, Mendis had to be ruled out of the current season of the Lanka Premier League. Sri Lanka Cricket Board has given information about Mendis’s injury on 22 July. Sri Lanka Cricket Board said that Mendis will be sent to the National High Performance Center for rehab.
