Preparations for the Test series between India and Sri Lanka are now in the final stages. The first match of the two-Test series will start on August 15. Before that, Team India will play a practice match from August 7. You can watch this match live on TV and mobile. Meanwhile, bad news is coming for the Sri Lankan team. It has been learned that wicketkeeper-batsman Kusal Mendis may be out of the first Test. However, the Sri Lanka Cricket Board has not given any update on this matter yet. The team for the series has also not been announced yet.

Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batsman Kusal Mendis was playing in the Lanka Premier League (LPL). Kusal plays for Colombo Caps. During this time, he was injured in a match. Mendis suffered a hamstring injury in his right leg during the match against Kandy Royals. Due to this, he could not play more matches. He sustained the injury on July 19, although even after this, he was expected to join the team for the Test series against India. Now, reports are coming from the Sri Lankan media that Mendis is not yet fully recovered, so he may miss the first match. He is not expected to be fully fit until August 15.

Sri Lanka is yet to announce its squad for this series. The series is not far off, so it is expected that the team will be announced soon. Only when the team is announced will it be known what the future holds for Kusal Mendis. He is considered a strong player in the Sri Lankan team.

Kusal Mendis has played 75 Tests for Sri Lanka, in which he has scored over 4,500 runs. He has also played 156 ODIs, in which he has scored almost 5,000 runs. He has also played 109 T20 Internationals, in which he has scored over 2,500 runs. His exclusion from the team is not a good sign for the team. Kusal played his last match on August 19. He has been undergoing rehab since then. It is believed that the team has not been announced yet due to Kusal Mendis’ injury.
