Big Blow To SRH As Wanindu Hasaranga Ruled Out of IPL 2024

Sunrisers Hyderabad acquired the services of Wanindu Hasaranga for 1.5 crore.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season due to an injury to his left heel.

The Sri Lankan player was acquired for his base price of ₹1.5 crore at the mini-auction after being released from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) side.

“He is not taking part in the IPL as he needs to do some rehabilitation after meeting the podiatrist. There’s a swelling in the heel and he has been playing with injections. So he has decided to get this issue sorted out before the World Cup and informed us of his decision to skip the IPL this year,” Sri Lanka CEO Ashley de Silva told The Sunday Times.

Wanindu Hasaranga is scheduled to fly to Dubai to consult with an expert about his injury, with the goal of recovering fully before the T20 World Cup 2024 commences in the Caribbean and the USA.
