Nuwan Thushara Injury: A three-match T20 series will be played between India and Sri Lanka from 27 July, Saturday. Before this series, Sri Lanka suffered two major setbacks. First, the team’s star fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera was ruled out. Now the other fast bowler Nuwan Tushara is also out. Tushara got injured during practice, due to which he also had to be ruled out. Team manager Mahinda Halangoda gave information about Nuwan’s injury.
