Chameera likely to be out for up to three months, to undergo pre-planned surgery

Fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera will likely miss up to three months of cricket, with the player expected to now undergo a pre-planned ankle surgery, after being ruled out of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 today.

Chameera, who was instrumental in Sri Lanka beating the United Arab Emirates by 79 runs on Tuesday with figures of 3 for 15, was diagnosed with a tear in the calf muscle of his left leg, an injury which the fast bowler has not experienced in the past.
