Summary Dushmantha Chameera will replace Dhammika Prasad in Sri Lanka squad for world cup.
COLOMBO (AP) - Sri Lanka on Monday nominated Dushmantha Chameera as replacement for the injured Dhammika Prasad at the upcoming World Cup.
The 23 year-old fast bowler has represented Sri Lanka in only one one-day match, taking two wickets.
Prasad was ruled out of the World Cup last Saturday because of a fractured hand, an injury he sustained when he attempted a return catch at practice.
Chameera s inclusion is subject to approval by the International Cricket Council technical committee, Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement.
Sri Lanka faces New Zealand in the tournament opener Feb. 14.
