Angelo out of World Cup

CRICKET: Sri Lanka's under 19 World Cup captain Angelo Mathews has been ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a leg injury.

Manager De Silva said that Mathews had torn a muscle in his left leg and medically had been advised to get rest for two weeks.

Sri Lanka's request for a replacement for Mathews has been granted by the ICC under 19 World Cup technical committee yesterday.

De Silva said that Roshane Silva will replace Mathews and he is likely to play in today's Super League play-off semi-final against Zimbabwe at the SSC grounds.

Vice-captain Sameera de Zoysa will lead Sri Lanka for the rest of the tournament.
