The nature of Chameera&#8217;s injury has not been disclosed, but the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) confirmed he will be unavailable for selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a significant setback for Sri Lanka, as Chameera is a key part of their bowling attack. His experience and ability to take wickets in the powerplay overs would have been crucial against a strong Indian batting line-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SLC is expected to name a replacement for Chameera shortly. Possible options include young pacers Asitha Fernando or Kasun Rajitha, who will be looking to impress and stake their claim for a spot in the T20 World Cup squad later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chameera&#8217;s absence will be a concern for Sri Lanka, but it also presents an opportunity for another bowler to step up and fill the void. The upcoming series against India will be a good test for the Sri Lankan bowling attack, and they will be hoping to perform well despite Chameera&#8217;s absence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sri Lanka&#8217;s fast bowling attack has suffered a blow ahead of their upcoming T20I series against India with the news that Dushmantha Chameera has been ruled out due to injury.
