Sri Lankan cricket team received yet another setback ahead of the third one-dayer against India here on Monday when all-rounder Angelo Mathews was ruled out for the remainder of the five-match series. Mathews, who had pulled a muscle during his 37 not out in the Nagpur one-dayer, will head home via New Delhi tomorrow, Sri Lankan liason manager Vasu Gangwani told PTI, in Cuttack. Wayamba all-rounder Thissara Perera will join the squad here tomorrow morning as Mathews replacement, he added. Veteran off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan and medium-pacer Dilhara Fernando were earlier sent home after suffering finger injuries.
