Chamari Atapattu, the Sri Lanka women’s captain, has been ruled out of the first and second ODIs against West Indies’ women on 13 and 15 May. She injured her right hand during a gym session and required 16 stitches. Vice Captain Eshani Lokusuriyage is likely to take over as captain for the first two ODIs.
