SL replace Chandimal
Sri Lanka suffered another injury setback at the World Cup on Tuesday when batsman Dinesh Chandimal was ruled out of the tournament to be replaced by Kusal Perera.
Chandimal picked up a hamstring injury during his side's 64-run loss to Australia in Sydney on Sunday where he hit a fine 24-ball 52 before being forced to retire hurt.
Perera, 24, has played 41 ODIs and scored 839 runs with one century and four half-centuries. His last ODI was against England in Pallekele in December 2014.
Batsman Dimuth Karunaratne suffered a tournament-ending broken finger batting in the nets and was replaced by leg-spinner Seekkuge Prasanna.
