Madushanka to miss rest of Bangladesh tour, initial stages of IPL 2024

Dilshan Madushanka, who left the field during Sri Lanka's second ODI against Bangladesh on Friday, has been ruled out of the remainder of the tour and is unlikely to play the first few matches of the IPL, where he is a part of Mumbai Indians. In a proclamation on Sunday morning, Sri Lanka Cricket said that a X-ray check has affirmed that Madushanka "has experienced a left hamstring injury", and he will "return [home] to begin recovery work". "We got the report on his physical issue just today [Sunday], and it shows a little tear," Sri Lanka group chief Mahinda Halangoda said. "It's another physical issue. We're not yet certain what amount of time it will require for him to recuperate, yet he'll must be surveyed again when he returns home by the clinical group at the superior exhibition place. For the present we realize he's out of the ODI tomorrow without a doubt." In the second ODI in Chattogram, which Sri Lanka won by three wickets to even out the series with one to play, Madushanka opened the bowling and got the initial two Bangladesh wickets to fall, however went off in the wake of bowling simply 6.4 overs. Madushanka, and his Sri Lanka associate Nuwan Thushara, were among the new players gained by Mumbai Indians in the most recent IPL closeout, held in December last year. Madushanka was welcomed ready for INR 4.6 crore (US$554,000 approx.), and shaped imposing quick bowling line-up close by Jasprit Bumrah, Jason Behrendorff, Gerald Coetzee, Akash Madhwal, Arjun Tendulkar and Thushara; skipper Hardik Pandya, Romario Shepherd and Anshul Kamboj are likewise in the line-up as quick bowling allrounders. Madushanka got two wickets each in the two ODIs in Bangladesh, and presently has 41 wickets from 23 ODIs (normal 24.87) to go with 14 wickets from 14 T20Is (economy 9.41). He made his Test debut against Pakistan in Colombo in July last year, yet went wicketless in one innings of bowling. There is some uncertainty over Coetzee's cooperation in the IPL too. While he has connected up with Mumbai Indians, Coetzee is perceived to be recuperating from a crotch injury and is being observed by the Mumbai Indians clinical group. He last played seriously in the Confining Day Test against India Centurion, where he created pelvic aggravation and couldn't participate in the following match, the SA20 or the initial rounds of the homegrown T20 competition.
