Asia Cup 2023: Coronavirus Hits 2 Sri Lankan Players- Tournament in Jeopardy

These players are crucial for the Sri Lankan team, particularly Avishka Fernando and Kusal Perera, who are known for their batting prowess.

Sri Lanka is facing challenges ahead of the Asia Cup 2023 as two players, Avishka Fernando and Kusal Perera, have tested positive for COVID-19.

This setback is compounded by the absence of Dushmantha Chameera due to a shoulder injury and Wanindu Hasaranga’s potential unavailability due to a thigh niggle.

These players are crucial for the Sri Lankan team, particularly Avishka Fernando and Kusal Perera, who are known for their batting prowess. Avishka Fernando, a dynamic top-order batsman, has accumulated over 990 runs in ODIs, while Kusal Perera, a wicket-keeper batsman, boasts more than 3,071 runs in ODIs.

The loss of these key players will undoubtedly impact Sri Lanka’s performance in the Asia Cup. The team management is hopeful that Wanindu Hasaranga will recover in time for the tournament, but his progress will be closely monitored.

Sri Lanka’s campaign begins against Bangladesh on August 31, and they’ll be fielding their potential starting lineup to gain early momentum in the competition.
