Kulasekara ruled out of ODI series against India
Sri Lankan paceman Nuwan Kulasekara has been ruled out of the ongoing five-match ODI series against India after injuring his groin while attempting a catch during the series-opener on Saturday.
Sri Lankan skipper Mahela Jayawardene said they do not know the extent of his injury.
“Nuwan is out of the series. He has got a groin injury. We cannot get a scan here. Once we get back to Colombo, we will get a scan done and see the extent of the injury and how long he will have to be out,” Jayawardene said.
Jayawardene said the replacement will be discussed soon. “We will talk to the selectors. The A team guys probably would have arrived today in Sri Lanka. There was a selector on that tour, so we will get some advice from him, who was in good form, and try and come up with a replacement,” he said.

Rahul Sharma left out of Indian team for 1st ODI
Leg-spinner spinner Rahul Sharma, who tested positive for recreational drugs after being caught at a rave party, was left out of the Indian team for the first one-dayer against Sri Lanka at Hambantota.
Rahul, along with South African cricketer Wayne Parnell, was detained by police after being caught in a rave party in Mumbai during the Indian Premier League in May. The two were among 42 people, who tested positive for drugs, the Mumbai Police said on Friday.
With two specialised spinners R. Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha in the team, Rahul was not an automatic choice in the playing XI in any case.
The BCCI will, however, take action against the spinner only after studying the police report on the matter.
“The police report will be studied before taking any action against Rahul Sharma,” senior BCCI official Rajeev Shukla said on Saturday. “Only after studying the report we will proceed,” he added.
