West Indies debutant Jeremy Solorzano has been named in the squad to replace the injured Shay Hope, who will no longer play a role in the Tests. The selection was confirmed after match referee Ranjan Madugalle approved.
The West Indies' hopes were dashed when Solozano was injured on the first day when Dimuth Karunaratne flushed into the helmet grill from a pull shot while fielding at the forward short leg on the first day in Galle. Solorzano remained motionless for a few moments and had to be brought off the field and immediately taken to the hospital.
An update from the evening of the first day showed that there was no structural damage on the scans, but he needed to be kept under observation.
