Fast bowler Dammika Prasad has been ruled out of Sri Lanka's second Test against India although batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan will play.

Prasad injured a hamstring while fielding during the first match in Ahmedabad, which was drawn and he joins fellow pace bowler Thilan Thushara on the sidelines.

Dilshan, who scored a century in Ahmedabad, injured his nose during a post-match warm-down game but after a scan he has been passed fit for the Kanpur game, which begins on Tuesday 24th November.

A scan confirmed that Prasad has a mild grade one strain to his left hamstring.
