Sanath indisposed for second test match

Sri Lanka Team Manager, Mr. Ajith Jayasekera informed the BCCSL that Sanath Jayasuriya Capt. had sustained an injury to his right ankle and torn ligaments at practice yesterday (12th November).

Mr. Jayasekera confirmed that Sanath would not play in the 2nd and Final Test against South Africa.

However, the Team Manager feels that the Sri Lankan Captain will be fit for the latter part of the One-Day matches and the National Team Physiotherapist Alex Kountouri is monitoring his injury. A decision would be made at the end of the week depending on Sanath's recovery.

Mr. Jayasekera also said that Muralidaran may have to undergo a Hernia operation and a decision would be made after obtaining a second opinion from a doctor.
