Dushmantha Chameera will miss the 2022 Asia Cup

On the eve, it became known that one of the leaders of the Sri Lanka national team Dushmantha Chameera will miss the 2022 Asia Cup. The reason for this was a leg injury. ICC representatives note that Chameera was injured during the training process.

Dushmantha Chameera plays a significant role in building the game of his national team. So the loss of this player greatly affects Sri Lanka’s prospects for the 2022 Asia Cup.
