Sri Lankan batsman Kusal Mendis has been approached to play for Nottinghamshire in the English County Championship. He is being considered as a replacement for Ishan Kishan, who recently completed his stint with the club. The move is subject to clearance from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC).
While Sri Lankan bowlers frequently feature in county cricket, opportunities for Sri Lankan batsmen are less common, making this a notable opportunity for Mendis to gain valuable red-ball experience in English conditions. Neither Nottinghamshire nor SLC have officially confirmed the deal yet.
