Maheesh Theekshana to have scan on injury today

It is a very big loss to Srilanka Thus Theekshana is a world class spinner whose bowls are very mysterious. Further his service is required by the captain Shanaka Even for the forthcoming World Cup series. Therefore he may recover soon.

Make sure he will be in the squad for the finals on the 17th of Sept. 2023, otherwise, we may have to lose the match.

Who will replace Theekshana? This is the weakness of our selection team as they only rely on a particular player and finally struggle.

Afterall coming to the finals beating Pakistan on a nail biting game, if either Mahes plays or not we must have a substitute to replace him. By the way, where is our sports minister? We did not see him any of our matches? Ranil should replace him with Dayasiri soon.

This is such a lazy lethargic game that does not require much physical fitness where players get injured just running behind the ball.

Currently, Sri Lanka doesn't have a replacement for his purpose. As we don't have a good fast bowler attack and Matheesha is very expensive at the initial overs, that avoid is filled by Theekshana in 1st power play. As a replacement, we can bring back Wanidu, but he is good at middle-overs.

We should bring Ajantha Mendis or Kumar Darmasena or even Dilshan as replacement, just similar manner to recalling specialists...

Shouldn't rush him because of the Asia Cup final.
