Sangakkara, who only joined the exclusive 10,000-run Test club with his 58 in the first innings of the Melbourne Test, is booked in for surgery on a fractured left index finger after being struck on the glove by rampant Mitchell Johnson. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Kumar-Sangakkara.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 587px;" /> Kumar Sangakkara Sangakkara will be out for between six to eight weeks, meaning he will miss Sri Lanka&rsquo;s final Test in Sydney, along with five one-day internationals and two Twenty20 games over the next month. Wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene has a hairline thumb fracture after also being struck by a Johnson delivery and pace bowlers Chanaka Welegedara (hamstring) and Nuwan Kulasekara (ribs) are unlikely to be fit. &ldquo;Kumar is definitely going to be out for the whole tour (Test and one-dayers), we&rsquo;ve just got news that he&rsquo;s got a fracture so he might undergo an operation tonight or tomorrow,&rdquo; skipper Mahela Jayawardene said. &ldquo;He&rsquo;ll be out for between six to eight weeks depending on the seriousness of the fracture.&rdquo; Jayawardene has not given up on the prospects of his namesake playing in Sydney, given the early finish to the second Test. &ldquo;We want to give Prasanna Jayawardene a few more days to see how well he can go through the pain,&rdquo; he said.

Sri Lanka's gloom over their shattering innings capitulation to Australia deepened with news that star batsman Kumar Sangakkara will miss the rest of the tour with a fractured finger.
