Ajantha Mendis still in hospital


Star spinner Ajantha Mendis, who underwent surgery on returning home after last Tuesday’s terror strike in Lahore, is still in Colombo’s Nawaloka Hospital.

While the Sri Lanka cricketers don’t have national engagements till the ICC World T20 meet in the first week of June, Mendis (and some of his compatriots) have Indian Premier League commitments to fulfil from next month.

Mendis is on the rolls of the Shah Rukh Khan-owned Kolkata Knight Riders. He was taken on board rather late in the inaugural season, last year, but is expected to be one of the impact-players in edition No.2.

“I can’t give you the exact date for Ajantha’s discharge… Perhaps, in another couple of days… The area (lower part of the head, right side) requires regular dressings, something which can’t be done in his house,” the premier hospital’s medical administrator told.
