February 9, 2015 09:24 pm
Sri Lanka on Monday nominated Dushmantha Chameera as replacement for the injured Dhammika Prasad at the upcoming World Cup.
The 23 year-old fast bowler has represented Sri Lanka in only one one-day match, taking two wickets.
Prasad was ruled out of the World Cup last on Saturday because of a fractured hand, an injury he sustained when he attempted a return catch at practice.
Inclusion of Chameera is subject to approval by the International Cricket Council technical committee, Sri Lanka Cricket said in a statement.
Sri Lanka face New Zealand in the tournament opener February 14.
