LUCKNOW: Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka was ruled out of the World Cup on Saturday due to injury and will be replaced by Chamika Karunaratne, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said.

Shanaka suffered a right thigh muscle injury in Sri Lanka’s defeat to Pakistan four days ago.

“The injury needs three weeks to recover,” the ICC said in a statement.
