T20 WC: Dilshan Madushanka Replaces Injured Pathirana In Sri Lanka Squad
The Event Technical Committee: The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Wednesday approved Dilshan Madushanka as a replacement for Matheesha Pathirana in the Sri Lanka squad. Madushanka was named as a replacement when Pathirana was ruled out after sustaining a muscle strain in his left leg during the team’s previous match against Australia on Monday (February 16).
Pathirana sustained a muscle strain in his left leg during Sri Lanka's recent match against Australia in Kandy and left the field immediately after bowling just four balls during his first spell. Pathirana was in visible pain as he clutched his left leg after bowling the fourth delivery in Sri Lanka's fixture against Australia in Pallekele on February 16. He left his over midway through and did not return to bowl in the innings, with Dasun Shanaka completing the remainder of the over.
The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the replacement player can be officially added to the squad.
