REFILE-Cricket-Sri Lanka bowler Malinga doubtful for T20 World Cup due to shoulder dislocation

Sri Lanka fast bowler Eshan ‌Malinga looks set to miss this month's Twenty20 World Cup on ⁠home soil after dislocating his shoulder during Sunday's match against England, the country's cricket board said on ​Monday. The 24-year-old, who has taken eight ‍wickets in eight T20 matches for Sri Lanka, suffered the injury during his second over on Sunday, and ⁠was unable ‌to ⁠continue as England won the 20-over match by six wickets ‍to secure a series win in Kandy.

"Malinga suffered ​a shoulder dislocation while bowling... he will undergo ⁠an MRI scan to assess the extent of the injury ⁠and determine the next course of action," Sri Lanka Cricket posted on Instagram. Sri Lanka ⁠will conclude the series with England on Tuesday, before ⁠starting ‌their T20 World Cup campaign against Ireland in Colombo on Sunday.
