Confirming the change, “The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 has approved Dilshan Madushanka as a replacement for Matheesha Pathirana in the Sri Lanka squad,”the ICC said in a release.The right-arm quick had bowled just three deliveries against Australia before discomfort forced him to stop. He was unable to complete the over, having previously featured in Sri Lanka’s matches against Ireland and Oman.The injury is also a concern for his Indian Premier League franchise, Kolkata Knight Riders. The three-time champions invested INR 18 crore in Pathirana. With Mustafizur Rahman already released and Harshit Rana facing uncertainty for IPL 2026, the latest setback compounds their pace-bowling worries.The incident unfolded when he delivered a ball to Australia captain Mitchell Marsh and immediately clutched his left leg in visible pain. Although early commentary suggested a hamstring issue, it was later confirmed as a muscle strain. The team physio rushed out, but Pathirana had to be assisted off the field, with Dasun Shanaka completing the remaining deliveries of the over.
