Veteran Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath was yesterday ruled out of the third Test against India due to a sore back, compounding the visiting team's problems in the ongoing series. Leg-break bowler Jeffrey Vandersay has been added to the touring squad as Herath's replacement. Sri Lanka, who were handed an innings and 239-run defeat by the hosts in the second Test in Nagpur, trail the three-match series 0-1. The third game is scheduled to be held in the national capital from December 2 to 6.
