India and Sri Lanka Prepare for Test Series Amid Injury Concerns and Warm-Up Match
Ahead of the two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka starting August 15, both teams face injury concerns. India’s captain Shubman Gill suffered a thumb injury during net practice, while key players like Jasprit Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan remain doubtful. Sri Lanka’s star wicketkeeper-batter Kusal Mendis is also unlikely to play the series opener due to a hamstring injury. A three-day warm-up match between India and a Sri Lanka XI led by Sonal Dinusha is scheduled in Colombo to help teams prepare for the series.
