“The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 has approved Binura Fernando as a replacement for left-arm fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka in the Sri Lanka squad,” said the ICC in a statement.
Fernando, who has played nine T20Is, was named as a replacement after Madushanka was ruled out due to a torn quad muscle.
Fernando will travel out from Sri Lanka and join the rest of the squad in Australia.
“The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the replacement player can be officially added to the squad,” the statement added.
