2016 ICC World Twenty 20 - Jeffrey Vandersay replaces Lasith Malinga in Sri Lanka squad

Legspinner Jeffrey Vandersay will replace the injured Lasith Malinga in Sri Lanka's squad for the ongoing ICC World Twenty20 in India.

Jeffrey Vandersay has played in just four T20 internationals previously, the last of which was in New Zealand in January 2016

Mohan de Silva, the Sri Lanka Cricket vice-President, said the 26-year-old Vandersay will depart at the earliest to join the team.

Lasith Malinga has been forced out due to a nagging knee injury. Vandersay was in the original World T20 squad but was overlooked by the current selection panel headed by Aravinda de Silva
