'Baffled' Jayaratne backs postponed Kusal

Kusal Perera was sent home after testing optimistic for an expelled material       

Kusal Perera had admitted to taking prescriptions as of late yet felt he had not used a banned substance after getting the news he had disappeared a medication test, interval mentor Jerome Jayaratne has said. Perera was provisionally suspended on Monday evening, two days out from the group's first Test against New Zealand, in Dunedin. The positive example had been given amid Pakistan's voyage through Sri Lanka in June and July.

Jayaratne said Perera had "taken some solution for a chomp on his foot", however neither counsellor nor player trusted this pharmacological to have been on the ICC's banned rundown of materials. "We had a talk the previous evening once the data inspected through from the ICC," Jayaratne said. "Kusal feels he has not taken any type of medicines or any type of pharmaceutical to that impact - so it's left to be perceived how it will be researched."

The ICC routinely teaches players and bolster staff about banned materials, which integrates numerous regular meds nevertheless particular execution promotion medications. It is viewed as great practice for players to check the legitimateness of drugs before utilizing them, Jayaratne said.

"ICC runs the tests chaotically and the players have been instructed. The physiotherapists in Sri Lanka have been taught. The rundown of banned suppositories continues changing and things get included. The players have been heartened to keep the physiotherapists educated before they take any sort of drug - notwithstanding of the option that it's only a Panadol. We'll watch out for what comes next. We're all disordered right now."

Jayaratne said Perera's interruption recognized a "gigantic scratch" to Sri Lanka's trusts in the prearrangement. "I think it will be very much a major effect on the grounds that he was our important wicketkeeper and is a dashing No.7 batsman who can turn regenerations around. The news came through only a day and a half before the Test. We're struggling to regroup. Dinesh Chandimal will take the gloves. We must choose the option to proceed ahead."

Perera is the 2^nd player to be sent home, after Dhammika Prasad supported a visit conclusion back harm amid the practice match in Queenstown. Sri Lanka have flown in left-arm seamer Vishwa Fernando to supplant Prasad, and are currently conveying opener Kaushal Silva to New Zealand, set up of Perera.

"It's a group on the move, so it's not the faultless condition to lose two players that we'd kept a ton of beliefs in," Jayaratne said. "Prasad is our point in the quick criticizing down some pins office. Kusal shoulders a part in the ODIs and T20s and the Tests also.

"Somebody needs to put their hands up and complete something excellent from a normal situation. We have around five or 6^th players who haven't played a modest bunch of Tests even set up composed. It will be extreme with the environment conditions too. They've truly got the chance to put their hands up and designate what they are made of."
