The injury can sideline him for their next game against Australia on March 8. Herath required four stitches on his left index finger, and will also undergo an X-ray to ensure there is no damage to the bone.

"The doctor says he's out for 8-10 days, but we'll see how he heals up and then reassess," team manager Michael de Zoysa was quoted as saying by Espncricinfo.
