Lahiru Kumara ruled out of WC, to be replaced by Chameera

Lahiru Kumara has been ruled out from the remaining matches of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup following a quadricep injury.

Dushmantha Chameera is will replace him, with the ICC's Event Technical Committee approving the change.

Kumara, the hero of Sri Lanka’s eight-wicket win over England, had complained of a pain during Saturday’s training session and a scan has confirmed of a tear.

He picked up 3-35 against England and was named man-of-the-match for his brilliant spell of seam bowling.
