Shubman Gill Injured Ahead of India-Sri Lanka Test Series; Warm-Up Match Scheduled
Ahead of the two-match Test series between India and Sri Lanka starting August 15, India captain Shubman Gill suffered a thumb injury and a hand injury during training but continued practicing after treatment. India faces multiple injury concerns, including Jasprit Bumrah's absence and doubts over Sai Sudharsan and Washington Sundar. India will play a three-day warm-up match against a Sri Lanka XI at Colombo's Nondescripts Cricket Club Ground from August 7 to 9 to acclimatize and finalize team combinations. Sri Lanka's squad for the warm-up is led by Sonal Dinusha, while star wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis is expected to miss the first Test due to a hamstring injury.
