Pathum Nissanka doubtful for Pakistan series after hamstring injury

Pathum Nissanka faces a battle to be fit for the upcoming T20I matches against Pakistan after picking up a hamstring injury during recent assignments in England. The opening batsman struggled through a niggle during the third fixture of that tour, adding to an already difficult period that follows a recent recovery from wrist surgery in London.

Sri Lanka now waits anxiously to see if the top-order contributor can regain full health before the squad departs for Pakistan, with a triangular ODI tournament also looming. Meanwhile, the team's recent visit to England concluded with a heavy defeat in the final ODI, where Tom Banton scored 126 runs and Harry Brook added 77 to set up a massive total before the visitors were bowled out cheaply.
