    Sri Lanka Bring In Lahiru Kumara, Pathum Nissanka For Second Test Against England

    By IANS News August 28, 2024 • 22:02 PM View: 1246
    Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka have brought in Lahiru Kumara and Pathum Nissanka to their playing eleven for the second Test against England, starting at Lord’s on Thursday. While Kumara replaces Vishwa Fernando, Nissanka comes in for Kusal Mendis.

    Mendis made 24 and 0 in the first Test at Old Trafford, while being dismissed by Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson respectively. He is replaced by Nissanka, who last played a Test match in 2022 against Australia, and averages 38.35 in this format. As per the order, Nissanka is slotted in to bat at number three.

    On the other hand, Fernando picked two scalps in England's first innings but conceded 46 runs from his eight overs in the second innings, without picking a wicket. Fernando's exclusion means Sri Lanka will be without a left-arm fast-bowling option at Lord’s.
