Sri Lanka's Asela Gunaratne is certain to miss the rest of the three-Test series against India after suffering a multiple fracture on his thumb while fielding in yesterday's opening day of the series.
The all-rounder was to undergo surgery in Colombo after being rushed from Galle where an x-ray confirmed a serious injury. "Most probably he will miss a minimum of four weeks. We will know in the next 48 hours about the time frame," Sri Lanka's cricket manager Asanka Gurusinha told reporters. "He has fractures in three places. As soon as we saw the x-rays we knew it was very serious and we rushed him to Colombo," he added.
