According to ESPNcricinfo, the injury occurred during fielding practice late on Wednesday, as confirmed by team manager Mahinda Halangoda. Despite the injury being on Thushara's non-bowling hand, it is severe enough to prevent his participation in the series.

With Thushara ruled out, left-armer Dilshan Madushanka appears to be the replacement, though an official announcement is yet to be made.
