The Consultation Shared With Physicians :-

The results of that second test will also be sharing with consulting physicians abroad, Daminda Atanayake said.

Angelo Mathews was injuring during a single run on the first day of the ongoing Test in Galle. He has retired hurt soon after, but returned to the crease with the fall of the eighth wicket. And hit a substantial boundary, refusing to take a run.

The Batted At Number Nine :-

He did not take the field for Sri Lanka in the first innings but came out to bat at number nine in the second innings.

Mathews has a long history of leg injuries, with difficulty in his hamstrings, quads, and calves causing him to miss months of cricket at a time since 2015.
