Kumar says, they have been burdened again with more injuries with three players to be assessed this week.

The players are Ibraheem Afazal, Vilikesa Vosagaga and Jacob Seninawanawa.

“Still we are having three players who are out so we’ll see what the medical team will say about that, we will see today’s match, and we will watch the game and map out a plan for who we meet in the semi-final.”
