The ICC technical event committee has approved middle order batsman Dhananjaya De’Silva as his replacement.
Perera, naturally an opener, played in Champions trophy as a middle order batsman, and was one of the most successful batsman of the team, having struck two important forty-plus scores against South Africa and India.
