Rajitha’s injury keeps her out of the second Test against Bangladesh.

Kasun Rajitha is out of Sri Lanka’s series which will begin on March 30. This decision passed out a setback to Sri Lanka ahead of the second Test against Bangladesh. Asitha Fernando replaced Rajitha on the team, who went home to begin her recuperation process.

“Due to an injury to his left upper back, Kasun Rajitha will not be available for the second Test match, SLC announced in a statement on Wednesday. Rajitha, who took eight wickets in the first Test match between India and Bangladesh at Sylhet, was a major helper to their victory as she hit a five-fer in the second innings, which allowed them to win by an overwhelming 328 runs.

The medium-fast bowler with a right arm was hurt during the first Test match, but he managed to play through it. Before the second game, both sides arrived in Chattogram. They will begin preparing for the second Test of the ICC Test Championship on Thursday.

Before they start their practice, Shakib Al Hasan, who made himself available for this competition, will also be joining the team. In the present Dhaka Premier League, the nation’s traditional list A event, the ace all-rounder played for Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club versus Gazi Group Cricketers on Wednesday (March 27) at BKSP.

Shakib helped his team win the game by 39 runs and set themselves up for the crucial match against the islanders by scoring 53 off 65 balls and subsequently picking two for 14.
