Hasaranga will return to Sri Lanka for further medical assessment. The leg-spinner missed the first ODI at Chester-le-Street, where debutant Sachindu Colombage impressed with three wickets. England won the match by 89 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the ongoing three-match series.
With Hasaranga still dealing with physical discomfort, the Sri Lankan management and selectors opted against risking him in the remaining matches at Leeds and The Oval. The decision allows him to return home, undergo further assessment, and focus on his recovery before the Pakistan series in October.
