India vs Sri Lanka: Chamara Kapugedara ruled out of series; Lasith Malinga to captain in fourth ODI

Image
Sri Lanka cricket has been hurt by the miserable way, the execution of recent results, administrative problems, and if that was not enough, fitness concerns too. Chamara Kapugedara became the most recent player to retire from the series against India, which visitors lead 3-0, with a back injury. Lasith Malinga will take her place for the fourth ODI to be played on Thursday. But Upul Tharanga will return to lead the team in the fifth ODI.

North Korea has carried out a flurry of missile tests recently in the midst of growing international discomfort. This is the first time he shoots what is believed to be a ballistic weapon over Japan.

Garraway nodded, "I made that point.I'm sorry, if you let me interrupt, but I did and I do not want this to be a motorist versus rider problem because many of us, like me, do both.
