Lanka seamer Nuwan Pradeep suffers injury, may miss England Test series

London, May 25 ANI: Sri Lanka seamer Nuwan Pradeep is likely to miss the Test series with England starting this week because of anterior cruciate ligament damage, the BBC reports. The uncapped 24-year-old took 4-29 in the second innings of the tour match with the Lions last week and could have made his debut on Thursday in Cardiff. "He has a bit more pace than the rest of them so it's a shame if he has to go home," coach Stuart Law said. Sri Lanka have added Lancashire all-rounder Farveez Maharoof to the squad. Asked about the extent of Pradeep's injury, Law added: "He has some damage to his anterior cruciate ligament. He is seeing a specialist at the moment, it's bad news for the young man." ANI
