Colombo: Sri Lankan medium-pacer Nuwan Pradeep is likely to miss the second cricket Test against India, starting here on Thursday as he is yet to fully recover from a hamstring injury.

Pradeep was rendered doubtful yesterday and in all likelyhood fit-again Dushmantha Chameera will replace him in the playing eleven. "Nuwan Pradeep is struggling a little bit, so we have to wait and see. Most likely he will be out of this Test," Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews told reporters in the pre-match conference.
