Sri Lanka Cricket said today that all-rounder Jeevan Mendis has sustained an injury at practice sessions and therefore Upul Tharanga will be sent to Melbourne immediately in case he was needed.


“It has been notified that Jeevan Mendis has injured at practices and is presently awaiting the ICC's doctors to visit and asses him and his medical reports will be forwarded to the ICC Technical Committee for a replacement,” the SLC said.


“However due to the time constraints the Selection Committee, Coach and Captain has requested that Upul Tharanga be sent to Melbourne immediately in case he is needed,” it added.
