Colombo, Jan. 5 (Daily Mirror) - Sri Lanka's opening batsman, Pathum Nissanka, is set to miss the upcoming ODI series against Zimbabwe due to a suspected Dengue infection.

According to Sri Lanka Cricket, Pathum Nissanka has been admitted to the hospital with a suspected dengue infection.

Accordingly, the player is admitted for further management and will be out of the ODI series against Zimbabwe.

The unforeseen setback has prompted the team management to consider the inclusion of the talented young cricketer, Shevon Daniel, as his replacement.

The three-match ODI series, scheduled to commence tomorrow at R Premadasa Stadium, has taken an unexpected turn as Sri Lanka faces the challenge of reshuffling their lineup in the absence of Nissanka.

Shevon Daniel will be under the spotlight as he aims to fill the void left by the experienced opener.

Its about time Sri Lanka Cricket sorted out priorities.Pathum Nissanka's (not God's Gift to opening batsmen) non availability should not be a set back if they had a backup plan in the case of a player becoming unavailable.There are many Shevon Daniel's waiting in the wings.
