Pathirana, a member of Sri Lanka’s World Cup squad, had to be replaced due to injury. However, sources say the Knight Riders are not looking to seek a replacement as the franchise, which bought him for INR 18 crore, expects the slinger to be available at some point during the IPL, if not for the entire season. On Monday, the pacer’s manager posted a picture of the player in KKR colours raising hopes of his participation in the season.
