Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Kolkata Knight Riders’ bowling coach Tim Southee said the team will take a call on Matheesha Pathirana’s inclusion in the playing XI after assessing conditions ahead of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday.
Pathirana, who recently joined the squad after getting the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Sri Lankan board, has impressed in training, giving the team management a strong option to consider.
“Yes, he's arrived. He's been around the group for a little bit now. We'll look at conditions and make a decision on the side that we think is best for tomorrow's game. He's been bowling well at training, and it's great to have him a part of the side,” Southee said in the pre-match press conference.
