Recently Sri Lankan head coach Mickey Arthur has indicated that left-arm fast bowler Isuru Udana is unlikely to play in the third and final T20 International against India on Friday in Pune. Udana suffered a back injury during the warm-up session. Sri Lanka did not get Udana's services while defending a target of 143 against India during the second T20 International on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, when this fast bowler got injured just before Sri Lanka went to bowling.

Sri Lankan team lost this match by 7 wickets and it is trailing 0-1 in the 3-match series. Sri Lankan coach Arthur said, 'Look, I am not a doctor. He was in a lot of pain in the dressing room. To be honest, I do not know what hurt they have. I am just hoping that he will be able to play in the series against the West Indies.'

According to media reports, Sri Lanka's international schedule is very busy, Arthur does not want to take any risk regarding Udana, who has been the best Sri Lankan T20 bowler in recent times. Arthur of South Africa, who was made the head coach of Sri Lanka last month, said, 'We have to play so much cricket so I can only hope for the best for him. He has problems in his back. Sri Lanka did not give a chance to experienced Angelo Mathews for the second consecutive match, who has returned to T20 cricket after 16 months. If asked Mathews will get a chance in the final match in Pune, Arthur said, "After this batting performance, all players have a chance to play."
