The ICC T20 World Cup 2026, before the start of the IPL season, had ruled out many players from the 19th edition of the Indian T20 competition. Many players have been ruled out due to freak injuries, while a lot of them happened in the Lankan camp as well.
KKR have been holding its breath for the return of pacer Matheesha Pathirana. The veteran pacer was ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup after having played just a handful of games on Sri Lanka's home grounds.
A clearance from the SLC Sports Science and Medicine Department has been awaited, and once the fitness tests are conducted, a No Objection Certificate will be issued. He will then be eligible to join the KKR squad.

Sri Lankan players who have already arrived for their IPL franchises with SLC's NOC
SLC has not been holding Matheesha Pathirana's NOC without any viable reason. This decision is backed further by the idea that the other players who have been fit in the contest have already arrived to feature in the IPL.
Hasaranga and Nuwah Thusara have been ruled out, while uncertainty continues to loom over Matheesha Pathirana's availability.
