    Team Manager Mahinda Halangode: Bereaved Sri Lankan cricketer Dunith Wellalage will return to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Friday night after paying his last respects to his late father, Suranga Wellalage, who died of a heart attack on Thursday.

    “Dunith Wellalage, who returned home to pay his last respects to his late father, will rejoin the team tomorrow morning. He will travel to the UAE tonight, accompanied by Team Manager Mahinda Halangode,” Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement on Friday.

    The 22-year-old allrounder had played his first match of the Asia Cup against Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi when his father passed away. He was only informed of the tragedy after the conclusion of the game, with head coach Sanath Jayasuriya and team manager breaking the news.
