Cricket might not be a contact sport but it still involves a leather ball and a wooden willow which can cause immense damage if encountered with in unfortunate ways. Chamika Karunaratne learned that lesson after a ball landed right on his teeth while attempting a catch to leave him spilling blood.

According to reports, Sri Lanka cricketer Angelo Mathews is interested to make a comeback for the national squad and the all-rounder has mailed Sri Lanka Cricket of his intentions to do so. Sri Lanka Cricket will take a final decision on the matter at a meeting on Tuesday, October 13.

Amidst multiple issues, with three out of the five franchises’ contracts being terminated, Cricbuzz has reported that the second edition of the Lanka Premier League would be postponed. The reports also suggested that the tournament would be rescheduled to start in November-December.
