    Australian left-arm spinner, Steve O’Keefe has been ruled out of the current Sri Lanka Test series with a hamstring injury and will be replaced by Jon Holland.

    “Steve will remain with the squad in Kandy until the end of the Test and will undertake imaging on the injury upon his return to Australia.”

    National Selector Rod Marsh said: “It is incredibly disappointing for Steve to get this injury and I really feel for him. He was bowling well in the Test and had caused some trouble to Sri Lanka’s top order.

    Holland is a likely inclusion for Galle opposite Nathan Lyon, as the pitch is expected to take plenty of turn.
