Can someone confirm?
This is what's on CI report. There is no way to find out these days since the players aren't allowed to talk to the media without permission from SLC. He hasn't played any competitive cricket since the CT and wasn't training with the ODI squad for ZIM matches. So this has to be an injury due to a recent non-cricket activity.
Quote:De Silva's exclusion is surprising on two fronts. First, he had suggested he was a batsman of substantial promise when he top-scored in Sri Lanka's triumphant series against Australia last year. Second, he has prospered against Zimbabwe in the recent past, making scores of 25, 64, 127 and 9 in four Test innings against them in October and November last year. De Silva was said to have suffered an ankle injury in the recent past, but is now fully fit and available for selection.
