Kusal Perera had confessed to taking meds as of late yet felt he had not devoured a banned substance after accepting the news he had fizzled a medication test, break mentor Jerome Jayaratne has said. Perera was temporarily suspended on Monday evening, two days out from the group's first Test against New Zealand, in Dunedin. The positive specimen had been given amid Pakistan's voyage through Sri Lanka in June and July.
Jayaratne said Perera had "taken some prescription for a chomp on his foot", yet neither mentor nor player trusted this medicine to have been on the ICC's banned rundown of substances.
"We had a visit the previous evening once the data separated through from the ICC," Jayaratne said. "Kusal feels he has not taken any type of medications or any type of prescription to that impact - so it's left to be perceived how it will be explored."
The ICC routinely instructs players and bolster staff about banned substances, which incorporates numerous normal prescriptions notwithstanding particular execution improving medications. It is viewed as great practice for players to check the legitimateness of meds before utilizing them, Jayaratne said.
"ICC runs the tests haphazardly and the players have been instructed. The physiotherapists in Sri Lanka have been instructed. The rundown of banned medications continues changing and things get included. The players have been encouraged to keep the physiotherapists educated before they take any sort of prescription - regardless of the possibility that it's only a Panadol. We'll watch out for what comes next. We're all perplexed right now."
Jayaratne said Perera's suspension constituted a "monstrous scratch" to Sri Lanka's trusts in the arrangement. "I think it will be very much a major effect in light of the fact that he was our principle wicketkeeper and is a dashing No.7 batsman who can turn amusements around. The news came through only a day and a half before the Test. We're attempting to regroup. Dinesh Chandimal will take the gloves. We must choose the option to proceed onward."
Perera is the second player to be sent home, after Dhammika Prasad supported a visit closure back harm amid the practice match in Queenstown. Sri Lanka have flown in left-arm seamer Vishwa Fernando to supplant Prasad, and are presently conveying opener Kaushal Silva to New Zealand, set up of Perera.
"It's a group experiencing significant change, so it's not the perfect circumstance to lose two players that we'd kept a considerable measure of trusts in," Jayaratne said. "Prasad is our point in the quick rocking the bowling alley division. Kusal assumes a part in the ODIs and T20s and the Tests also.
"Somebody needs to put their hands up and accomplish something exceptional from a common circumstance. We have around five or six players who haven't played a modest bunch of Tests even set up together. It will be extreme with the climate conditions too. They've truly got the chance to put their hands up and demonstrate what they are made of."
