Big trouble for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026.
Some players missed the test because they are injured or had travel issues. Hasaranga and Pathirana are important because they are also playing in IPL 2026. Hasaranga plays for LSG, and Pathirana plays for KKR.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said that Wanindu Hasaranga and Matheesha Pathirana may not able to play IPL 2026 immediately because they have not passed their fitness test yet.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said players will get an NOC only after they pass the fitness test.
"Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) wishes to announce that players who have requested to participate in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 will be issued a No Objection Certificate (NOC) only upon successfully passing SLC's mandatory Physical Performance Test," a statement from Sri Lanka Cricket read.
"At present, SLC is conducting an eight-week specialised physical training program for all nationally contracted players. This initiative aims to enhance players' physical performance standards in preparation for upcoming international assignments. Along with this program, players are also undergoing the mandatory physical performance tests, a routine process followed to check the fitness standards of the players," the SCL added.
"Only those who successfully meet the required standards of the physical performance tests will be cleared to participate in the ongoing domestic tournament and also granted an NOC to take part in IPL 2026," the SLC statement added.
