Pathirana, Wanindu, Eshan Await Fitness Nod for IPL 2026
Sri Lanka’s Matheesha Pathirana, Eshan Malinga, and all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga are set to join their respective franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, pending clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) mandatory fitness tests.
The assessments, scheduled in the coming days, will determine their readiness after injuries kept them out of the ICC T20 World Cup earlier this year. Early signs suggest the players are recovering well, and officials remain optimistic about their participation.
Pathirana, who became the most expensive Sri Lankan player in IPL history after Kolkata Knight Riders secured him for INR 18 crore at the mini-auction, is expected to be a key figure with his death-over bowling expertise. He previously impressed at Chennai Super Kings, earning recognition for his composure under pressure.
While the trio awaits clearance, several Sri Lankan cricketers have already received their No Objection Certificates (NOCs). Kamindu Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Dushmantha Chameera are preparing to join their franchises, with Nissanka heading to Delhi Capitals, Chameera also continuing with Delhi Capitals, and Mendis retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In total, seven Sri Lankan players will feature in IPL 2026, underlining the growing presence of the island nation’s talent in the league.
