This player got a chance

Chameera limped off the field midway through his eighth over during Sri Lanka’s 42-run win in the first ODI. He had taken two wickets at that time. It has now been confirmed that he has injured his left quadriceps.
I was injured last year also
According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, this injury is not related to any of his previous injuries. Last year, he missed some of Sri Lanka’s matches due to a muscle injury and before that he had also undergone surgery for an ankle injury. He has been sent to a specialist in the UK for scans and better treatment. Chameera has taken 56 wickets in 52 ODI matches for Sri Lanka.
Played only five matches for the team
Sri Lankan team manager Mahinda Halangoda said that he is feeling better now, but until we get answers from the specialist. Till then we will not be able to get the exact information about his injury. Asitha Fernando, who was included in the team in place of Dushmantha Chameera, played her last ODI match against Afghanistan in the year 2022. He has played a total of 5 ODI matches and has taken only one wicket.
