Sri Lanka have been hit by three more COVID-19 cases on the eve of the second Test against Australia, with\u00a0Dhananjaya de Silva,\u00a0Asitha Fernando\u00a0and\u00a0Jeffrey Vandersay\u00a0ruled out of the game in Galle. It is understood that the trio had all reported feeling unwell which led to the entire Sri Lanka squad being tested, with the positive results coming back on Wednesday. It brings the number of COVID-19 cases in the Sri Lanka camp to five, following Angelo Mathews \u2013 who was the first and had to be subbed out on the third day of the first Test \u2013 and then left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama, who will also miss the second Test. On Thursday afternoon, Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne said the squad would have to pass another round of rapid antigen tests before confirming who would be available for selection. Mathews, however, has completed his isolation period and is expected to play. Oshada Fernando, who was Mathews\u2019 COVID sub, will now be in line to replace Dhananjaya, whose absence means Sri Lanka also lose a spin-bowling option. With Lasith Embuldeniya having already been dropped, it means there will be substantial changes to the Sri Lanka side, and likely Test debuts\u00a0for Maheesh Theekshana and 19-year-old Dunith Wellalage. Kasun Rajitha is the likely replacement for Asitha, who was the lone quick in Sri Lanka\u2019s side for the first Test. Offspinner Lakshitha Manasinghe and left-armer Prabath Jayasuriya had also previously been added to the squad, while it was confirmed on Thursday that left-arm wristspinner Lakshan Sandakan has also been called up. Australia are staying in the same hotel as the Sri Lanka team, but are keeping their distance, and at this point, have had no positive tests on the tour. Australian players are tested daily outside of matches, while rapid tests are only taken when players feel ill during a Test match. (Ceylon Today, 7.7.2022)<\/span><\/p>\n

Sri Lanka\u2019s selectors retained all-rounder Dunith Wellalage in the squad for the two match Test series against Pakistan that gets underway on Saturday in Galle. An-18 member squad was named for the two Tests and left-arm spinners Lasith Emduldeniya and Praveen Jayawickrama were axed after poor form. While Embuldeniya was dropped for the second Test against Australia after a poor show in the opening encounter in Galle, Jayawickrama missed the second Test after testing positive for COVID but he had a poor series in Bangladesh. After Prabath Jayasuriya picked up a record 12 for 177 on debut, the two left-arm spinners were left out and 19-year-old Wellalage was retained in the squad along with Maheesh Theekshana, who debuted last week despite not having played a First Class game for four years. Middle order batsman Dhananjaya de Silva returns to the side after missing the second Test due to COVID. Which batsman will make way for him in the playing eleven remains to be seen. The selectors have a tough choice as Kamindu Mendis played well on debut and compiled a crucial half-century. Mendis had replaced Dhananjaya in the second Test. The selectors have the option of playing both Mendis and Dhananjaya while leaving out wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella, whose keeping was sloppy missing three stumping chances in the second Test against Australia. He also threw away his wicket when Sri Lanka were fighting hard to get a decent lead to square the series earlier this week. With Chandimal being named as a wicketkeeper for the series, all indications are that the former captain who posted a career best 206 not out in the second Test will be handed the wicket keeping gloves. The teams will move to Colombo for the second Test as RPS will host its first Test match in five years. Sri Lanka are number seven in official ICC rankings, just behind sixth placed Pakistan. If Sri Lanka win the series 2-0, they will move up to number six. Even a 1-0 series win is sufficient for Dimuth Karunaratne\u2019s side to move up in rankings. Former captain Angelo Mathews will feature in his 100 th Test match in the second Test at RPS. (Rex Clementine)<\/span><\/p>\n
