Sri Lanka’s top-order batsman and wicketkeeper Kusal Mendis, along with fast bowler Asitha Fernando, have joined the national T20 World Cup team in the USA after a delay in receiving their visas, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Selection Committee Chairman Upul Tharanga told the Daily Mirror.
Although the national team departed for the USA on May 14, Mendis and Fernando could not travel with the team due to their visas not being issued by the US Embassy in Sri Lanka.
The 15-member Sri Lanka team left for the USA in advance to train and acclimatize to the conditions. They arrived in the USA last Wednesday and began training at the Morrisville Facility in North Carolina.
