Ahead of the second Test between Sri Lanka and Australia at the Galle International Stadium from July 8, the home team has suffered a setback with back-up left-arm spinner Praveen Jayawickrama being ruled out after testing positive for Covid-19.

This is the team's second case in five days after Angelo Mathews had to be replaced during the series opener after also returning a positive test.
