Sri Lanka opener, Kusal Janith Perera has been ruled out of the tri-series in Bangladesh with a side strain, Sri Lanka Cricket announced today. A media release says that the left-hander has suffered the injury while batting in their third match of the series against Zimbabwe on Sunday.

He has been asked to rest by the doctors and will miss the remainder of the ongoing ODI series.

Batsman Dhananjaya De Silva will be sent as a replacement for Kusal Janith Perera.

Earlier skipper Angelo Mathews returned home with a hamstring injury. He will miss the Test series against Bangladesh as he has been asked to rest for at least three weeks. Sri Lanka lost their first two matches against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh but put up a spirited effort to win the third on Sunday. Sri Lanka must beat Bangladesh in their last qualifying round match to keep their hopes alive in the tournament.
