It's definitely a big blow for Sri Lanka. He performed really well in the IPL, and was one of their assets.

Praveen Kumar is also out of the T20 World Cup :

It's a blessing in disguise, get all the spinners out of your teams as fast as you can.

This puts pressure on their game against Zimbabwe - they don't have their best spinner against a team full of them.

Well, this gives Suraj Randiv a chance I suppose. He looks a good bowler to me.

Brilliant news

Big Blow to Lanka, now they will be heavily dependent on the batting, especially Jayawardene and Dilshan!

 

[Mike23]

Oh no, we might as well kiss the world cup goodbye.

I think this is bad luck for SL who are hoping that their game is not rained off vs Zimbabwe. There is a chance they might not qualify for Super 8's

The WI pitches gonna b helpful for spinners later in the tournament. Other teams must b happy to hear this news, but for SL, a rly big hit on face :crying

I hate injuries in such big tourneys :

What happened to Praveen?

 

[Pranav]

It says he is out due to an abdominal injury.

Umesh Yadav called as replacement?

It should have been Irfan Pathan!!

 

[Pranav]

Nah, Umesh is quite a good replacement tbh. He's fast and bowls some very good yorkers.

He showed some good form in the IPL as well.

 

[SaiSrini]

Brilliant decision by the selectors to send in Umesh Yadav. Hope he gets to play against WI.
