Asia Cup 2023 Hit By Covid Scare After Two Sri Lanka Stars Test Positive

Sri Lanka on Friday suffered a major setback as four of their cricketers, including pacer Dushamantha Chameera and leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, were rendered doubtful for the upcoming Asia Cup because of injuries and COVID-19. Chameera could be ruled out of the Asia Cup because of a shoulder injury that he suffered during the recent Lanka Premier League (LPL). Leading spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who picked up a thigh niggle ahead of the LPL final, could miss at least two matches of his team in the Asia Cup, ESPNCricinfo reported. Sri Lanka will begin their Asia Cup campaign with a match against Bangladesh on August 31 at Pallekele. Adding to the Lankan woes, batters Kusal Perera and Avishka Fernando have been tested positive for COVID-19.
