IPL 2024:&nbsp;Sri Lanka seamer Dilshan Madushanka has suffered a left hamstring injury and is ruled out of the remainder of the Bangladesh series and the initial stage of IPL 2024 for Mumbai Indians. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) released a statement, saying an MRI scan revealed the nature of the injury with the left-arm seamer returning home for rehab.

<h2>Dilshan Madushanka Ruled Out of IPL 2024</h2>

The statement further said it is a new injury, with everyone unaware of the time it will take to get healed. Madushanka will miss the third and final ODI, alongside two Tests.

"We got the report on his injury only today [Sunday], and it shows a small tear," Sri Lanka team manager Mahinda Halangoda said.&nbsp;

"It's a new injury. We're not yet sure how long it will take for him to recover, but he'll have to be assessed again when he goes home by the medical team at the high-performance centre. For now, we know he's out of the ODI tomorrow for sure."

During the second ODI in Chattogram, where Sri Lanka won the game by three wickets, levelling the three-match series 1-1, Madushanka opened the bowling and picked two wickets up front but left the field by 6.4 overs.&nbsp;

<h2>MI to miss Dilshan upfront</h2>

His absence comes as a blow to the former five-time IPL winners, who picked him for a whopping INR 4.6 crore (US$554,000 approx.) at the IPL auction. Alongside him, MI also picked his national side teammate Nuwan Thushara, who recently made headlines for picking his maiden T20I hat-trick against the Tigers.

The two Sri Lankan seamers will join Jasprit Bumrah, Jason Behrendorff, Gerald Coetzee, Akash Madhwal and Arjun Tendulkar at MI. Newly-appointed captain Hardik Pandya, Romario Shepherd and Anshul Kamboj will also come in handy as seam-bowling all-rounders for the franchise.

Meanwhile, Madushanka rose to the limelight during the 2022 Asia Cup in Dubai, wherein he&nbsp;clean-bowled Virat Kohli off a peach on zero. In his brief career thus far, the left-arm pacer has picked 41 wickets from 23 ODIs to go with 14 scalps from as many T20Is.&nbsp;

In his only Test against Pakistan in Colombo last year, Madushanka went wicketless in one inning.

Mumbai Indians will face Gujarat Titans in their IPL 2024 opener on Sunday (March 24) in an away clash.&nbsp;

IPL 2024: Blow to Mumbai Indians as Dilshan Madushanka ruled out of initial stage

Not one, two, but three injuries made headlines during the 3rd ODI between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka at Chattogram on Monday (March 18). Jaker Ali, an uncapped wicketkeeper batter, had to be stretched off the ground following a collision while fielding in the first innings. Crashing into Anamul Haque while attempting to take a catch of Pramod Madushan off Taskin Ahmed, Ali got injured and was taken off immediately.

Though Haque grabbed the catch, Jaker Ali crashed his head on Haque’s shoulder.&nbsp;

"His (Jaker) injury is in the neck. There's no injury on the brain. We have mobilised his neck. Pain will go down in the next 24 to 48 hours. He is already saying pain has gone down. He is talking to us; he had his medicine. There's no reason to be afraid," Bangladesh team physio said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh endured a tough time in the middle during the final ODI, as&nbsp;seamer Mustafizur Rahman had to be stretchered off due to cramps in the 48th over.

Seasoned campaigner Soumya Sarkar also injured his neck as he hit the advertisement board while trying to stop the ball in the 49th over. Tanzid Ahmed was roped in as Sarkar's concussion substitute.

"Soumya fell hard while attempting to save a boundary and also hit the advertisement billboard," Bangladesh team physio Bayjedul Islam Khan said in a statement.&nbsp;

"His head hit the ground in the process, and he felt stiffness in the neck and also complained of a headache and vision difficulties. A SCAT5 assessment was done when he came off. He has also hurt his left knee."

Moreover, on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough didn’t take the field in the second innings due to excessive heat.

<h2>Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka to win ODI series</h2>

Sri Lanka batted first in the decider and lost three wickets inside 11 overs. Following Kusal Mendis’ dismissal, rookie Janith Liyanage made the innings about himself, taking down the Bangladesh attack. Although wickets kept falling at the other end, Liyanage stood his ground and slammed his maiden hundred, remaining unbeaten on 101 off 102 balls, including hitting 11 fours and two sixes. Sri Lanka scored 235. &nbsp;

Bangladesh lost early wickets in the chase, but Tanzid Hasan and Towhid Hridoy kept the home team’s chances alive.&nbsp;

However, the lower order changed the game for the hosts, with Mushfiqur Rahim (37), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (25) and Rishad Hossain (48 off 18 balls, including hitting five fours and four sixes) sealing the deal for Bangladesh with four wickets remaining.&nbsp;
