Sri Lankan bowler Maheesh Theekshana has been ruled out of the second test against Pakistan with a finger injury, the country's cricket board said on Thursday.

The spinner returned figures of 2-68 in Pakistan's first innings in the opening test, which the hosts lost by four wickets in Galle on Wednesday.

Uncapped allrounder Lakshitha Manasinghe comes into the squad as replacement.
