Sri Lanka have confirmed a change in their squad for the Women’s T20 Asia Cup following an injury to Vihanga.
Injury Forces Last-Minute Adjustment
Vihanga sustained a right-knee injury while taking part in a practice game.
The player was therefore unable to travel with the team to the UAE where the tournament is being held.
Replacement Confirmed
To fill the gap, Sri Lanka have brought in Meepage as the replacement player for the Women’s T20 Asia Cup.
This move ensures the squad remains complete ahead of the event.
The replacement of Vihanga with Meepage maintains the team’s preparation for the Women’s T20 Asia Cup in the UAE.
The right-knee issue occurred during practice, preventing Vihanga from boarding the flight.
Impact on Squad Planning
With Vihanga ruled out, the inclusion of Meepage allows Sri Lanka to proceed without further disruption to their lineup for the Asia Cup matches.
The change was made necessary solely by the injury sustained in the practice session.
Meepage joins the squad in place of the injured player for all upcoming fixtures in the UAE.
