Kusal Perera cleared of any serious injury after stretchered off ground

Batsman Kusal Janith Perera, who crashed into the advertising boards, while fielding during the second innings of the West Indies in the ongoing test match, is cleared of any serious injury.

“He is cleared of any serious injury, but we will have to wait and see, how he will come up tomorrow morning, before making a decision on whether to bat him or not,” said Asanka Gurusinha, the Team Manager.

Earlier,  Kusal Perera was stretchered into a waiting ambulance after a nasty fielding incident shortly before dinner on the third day of the third Test in Barbados.

Perera was fielding at long-on from the bowling of Dilruwan Perera, when West Indies tailender Shannon Gabriel launched the ball high and in his general direction.

The Sri Lankan opener made a spectacular interception on the rope, but the momentum from his diving grab took him well beyond the boundary and into the advertising hoarding surrounding the outfield.
