    T20I Series: Sri Lanka Bring Mendis As Stand-by After Fernando Hospitalised For Chest Infection

    By IANS News July 27, 2024 • 10:28 AM View: 944
    Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Ahead of their T20I series against India commencing on Saturday, Sri Lanka have brought in off-spinner Ramesh Mendis as a stand-by player due to fast-bowler Binura Fernando being hospitalised.

    A statement from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Friday said left-arm fast-bowler Fernando has been hospitalised because of a chest infection. Subsequently, they have now brought Mendis into the Charith Asalanka-led T20I squad as a standby player.

    Fernando had earned a return to Sri Lanka’s T20I squad by picking up 13 wickets across eight games at a miserly economic rate of 6.81 for Colombo Strikers in the 2024 Lanka Premier League (LPL). Mendis, the stand-by player, has only played two T20Is for Sri Lanka, picking just one wicket.
