Chandimal exits Bangladesh Test for family emergency

Dinesh Chandimal, Sri Lanka's wicketkeeper-batter, has had to withdraw from the ongoing second Test against Bangladesh due to a family medical emergency. Chandimal, who contributed a score of 59 in the first innings, was unable to make a significant impact in the second, scoring only 9 runs before his departure. The Sri Lanka Cricket board has confirmed his immediate return home and has requested the public to respect his and his family's privacy during this time.

On the field, Sri Lanka managed to maintain their dominance in the Test match despite Chandimal's absence, with a substitute fielder taking his place. Prior to his exit, the team had already taken a commanding 353-run lead after the third day's play. Sri Lanka leads the two-match series 1-0 following a victory in the first Test held in Sylhet.
