Colombo: Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan may have to sit out of the ODI series against Pakistan after fracturing his finger during the ongoing third test match.

Dilshan had fractured his right index finger while keeping wickets in the first innings of the ongoing third test against Pakistan and also required stitches above his left eye after being hit there will batting.

“We are monitoring Dilshan’s progress carefully, but at the moment he is doubtful for the first few one-dayers,” Sri Lankan team manager, Kuruppu told reporters on Tuesday.

Kuruppu also said that it was uncertain whether Dilshan would bat in Sri Lanka’s second innings.

“Our medical team will assess his condition before taking a final decision on his fitness and he will bat in the second innings only if it is really necessary.”

Sri Lanka’s ODI series against Pakistan starts on 30th July and this may come as huge blow for Sri Lanka as Dilshan has been an integral part of Sri Lanka’s success in recent times.
