Kusal Mendis was expected to be named in the original Test team for the upcoming Tests, starting on August 15, but was under uncertainty because of injury. The keeper-batter is currently under a rehabilitation programme to cure the injury he suffered during a Lanka Premier League 2026 match (LPL 2026).

As he was not fully fit to feature in a top-end match a day ago, it was reported that the keeper-batter could miss the first Test of the upcoming India vs Sri Lanka series. On August 7, it was reported that Kusal Mendis had been ruled out of the entire series due to the injury setback, which is considered a major blow for the home team.
Nibraz Ramzan, a Sri Lankan sports journalist, on Friday informed through a ‘X’ post, “Kusal Mendis ruled out of the test series against India due to an injury, and it is confirmed that Pathum Nissanka is out of the selection for the first test also due to an injury.”
