The player will undergo a scan tomorrow to fully assess his condition," Sri Lanka Cricket posted on X on Thursday. Theekshana went off the field multiple times while Sri Lanka was bowling.

Theekshana's injury adds to Sri Lanka woes. They are already without the likes of Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Madushanka and Lahiru Kumara.
