Apr 01, Mumbai: Sri Lanka's all-rounder Angelo Mathews has been ruled out of the World Cup final against India on Saturday due to injuries and off-spinner Suraj Randiv is to take his place in the final.
Mathews suffered an injury on his right thigh during bowling in the semi-final against New Zealand and left the field but returned later to bat with the help of a runner.
The International Cricket Council on Friday has approved Randiv as the replacement for Mathews for the Sri Lankan team.
Sri Lanka's master spinner Muttiah Muralitharan is also under an injury watch suffering from hamstring and knee injuries although the Sri Lankan coach Trevor Bayliss said Thursday Murali was determined to take the field in his last international match.
The 38-year-old cricket legend is to retire from international cricket after the World Cup final.
