Vishwa Fernando cops a blow on the helmet by a vicious bouncer from Shoriful Islam!

Sri Lanka's Vishwa Fernando's helmet was hit by a ball during the match against Bangladesh.

The Sri Lankan team, which is touring Bangladesh, is playing in a two-Test series. The first Test between the two teams started yesterday.

Batting first, Sri Lanka scored 397 and lost all their wickets. Angelo Mathews top-scored with 193 and missed a double century by 1 run. Similarly, Chandimal scored 66 runs and Kusal Mendis 54 runs. Following this, the Bangladesh team is batting in their first innings.

In this situation, the incident where Sri Lankan bowler Vishwa Fernando hit the ball hard on the helmet during yesterday's match has caused shock. Bangladesh bowler Shoriful Islam threw the ball to Vishwa Fernando's helmet. He suffered a concussion.

Currently Vishwa Fernando is being sent for medical examination. The Sri Lanka Cricket Board has said that he has to be scanned there and therefore exempted from the match. It has also been reported that Kasun Rajitha will replace him in the team.
