The third Test begins on August 12.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The decision comes as a result of SLC&#39;s Sports Medicine Unit declaring Herath &#39;unavailable for selection&#39; due to an increased risk of injury calculated from his workload leading up to the 3rd Test,&quot; a SLC statement read.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;A heavy investment in Sports medicine &amp; Player Management over the past six months with the recruitment of specialised Trainers and Physios as well as implementation of state-of-the-art assessment and monitoring systems has begun to pay dividends in injury management of the National Performance Squad,&quot; it added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Herath was injured in the first Test while fielding but recovered sufficiently to play in the second Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
