Suranga Lakmal to Miss Rest of ODI Series

Chester-le-Street: Sri Lanka medium-pacer Suranga Lakmal will miss the rest of the one-day series against England after tearing a muscle in his hamstring.

He was replaced by Dhammika Prasad in the playing XI for the second ODI on Sunday that Sri Lanka went on to win by 157 runs.

Medium-pacer Shaminda Eranga has been called up as his replacement for the remaining ODIs.
