Mathews to miss rest of one-day series

Mathews to miss rest of one-day series

Bhubaneshwar, Dec 19: Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews will miss the rest of the one-day series in India because of injury. The medium-pacer strained his right quadricep during his match-winning 37 not out in Friday’s second ODI, which the tourists won by three wickets to level the five-match series 1-1.

The recovery is expected to take up to four weeks, the team said on Saturday. The third match will be played in Cuttack on Monday. Uncapped all-rounder Thissara Perera was named as Mathews replacement on a tour that has already seen four bowlers return home injured. (IANS)
