Kiwi players hit by a stomach bug
In a rare sporting gesture Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara
permitted the visiting New Zealand team to use their reserve wicket
keeper after most of their team members were hit by a stomach bug on the
eve of the fourth day’s play of the first cricket Test match at the
Galle International Stadium yesterday.
New Zealand team manager David Currie said that regular wicket keeper
Brendon McCullum and reserve wicket keeper Jesse Ryder have been the
worst hit and decided to stay back in their team hotel.
“Sri Lanka team has very kindly agreed to let substitute Reece Young
to keep wickets today as we have lost both out wicket keepers. We are
very thankful to them” said Currie. Galle, Friday |
