Sri Lanka opener Pathum Nissanka is doubtful for the Pakistan tour after suffering a strain in his right leg while fielding in the third ODI against Sri Lanka at the Oval on Sunday.
Nissanka was expected to go for a scan yesterday and the severity of the injury can only be assessed by the reports.
It is suspected to be a hamstring and Nissanka it is understood has complained of pain in his injured leg.
Nevertheless, Nissanka is certain to be out of the three-match T20I series against Pakistan which commences at Rawalpindi on 9 October.
His availability for the rest of the tour which includes a three-match ODI series starting on 18 October in Rawalpindi will depend on the extent of his injury.
Nissanka, a prolific scorer in white ball cricket had a rather lean tour of England with scores of 12, 37, 36, 27, 25 and 1 in the T20I and ODI series both of which Sri Lanka lost by 3-0 and 2-1 margins respectively. (ST)
