Sri Lanka's Hasaranga out of India series with hamstring injury

Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga will miss the rest of their three-match One Day International (ODI) series against India due to a hamstring injury, governing body Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said on Saturday.

Hasaranga, 27, picked up the injury during the first ODI on Friday when he claimed three wickets in a thrilling tie.

"He experienced pain in his left hamstring while delivering the last ball of his 10th over during the first ODI," SLC said in a statement. "An MRI performed on the player, following this, confirmed the injury."

Sri Lanka face India in the second ODI on Sunday, with the third match scheduled for Aug. 7 in Colombo.
