LUCKNOW, India — Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka is out of the Cricket World Cup because of a thigh injury and has been replaced in the squad by Chamika Karunaratne. Shanaka sustained the injury during Sri Lanka's six-wicket loss against Pakistan on Tuesday. The ICC said Saturday that Shanaka's injury "needs three weeks to recover" and that the technical committee approved Karunaratne, also an all-rounder, as his replacement. Vice captain Kusal Mendis will lead the side.
