Sri Lanka wicketkeeper-batsman Kusal Perera has tried positive for a banned substance and has been reviewed from the New Zealand visit, Sri Lanka Cricket said in a discharge on Monday. Perera's specimen was accommodated an arbitrary test by the ICC in the late home arrangement against Pakistan. Kaushal Silva will swap Perera in the squad for the New Zealand visit. The primary Test begins on December 10.
In its discharge, SLC said that it would make all strides required by the ICC to have a further example tried and "make each try" to empower Perera to resume playing cricket at the most punctual open door in consistence with the ICC's regulations. Perera had been picked in every one of the three squads for the visit.
