Nuwan Thushara’s Bold IPL Move: Quitting Sri Lanka Cricket?
Fitness failure sees Thushara eye RCB in 2026, but at what cost?
In a surprising twist, Sri Lankan speedster Nuwan Thushara is reportedly willing to ditch his international career for a shot at the IPL with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in 2026. This bizarre turn of events comes after Thushara flunked a crucial fitness test, which denied him a no-objection certificate from Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). As a result, he missed RCB’s IPL opener against Sunrisers Hyderabad on March 28, a bitter pill for a player keen to make his mark.
Thushara’s decision raises eyebrows. Is the allure of the IPL's big bucks worth sacrificing his international future? The RCB franchise has been known for acquiring talent that can light up the tournament, but Thushara's fitness woes could be a red flag. Can he bounce back and prove his worth on the global stage?
As the IPL season unfolds, all eyes will be on Thushara. Will he get his act together to secure a spot in RCB's lineup, or is this the last we’ll see of his international aspirations?
