Pradeep a doubt for 2nd Test
Sri Lanka suffered another injury setback ahead of the second Test against Australia in Galle with seamer Nuwan Pradeep suffering a hamstring strain during practice, a cricket board official said on Tuesday.
Angelo Mathews' side are reeling from injuries to their fast bowlers with Dhammika Prasad and Dushmantha Chameera ruled out of the three-match series, while Suranga Lakmal was also absent from the opening Test at Pallekele due to an ankle complaint.
Another paceman, Shaminda Eranga, was recently suspended for an illegal action.
The 29-year-old Pradeep, who has played 21 Tests, was the lone frontline paceman at Pallekele, which the hosts won by 106 runs to take a 1-0 lead against the world's top-ranked side in the longest format.
