MUMBAI: Batter Suryakumar Yadav and fast bowler Deepak Chahar have been ruled out of India's three-match Twenty20 International series against Sri Lanka at home, the country's cricket board (BCCI) said on Wednesday.

Yadav was adjudged player of the T20 series in India's 3-0 win against West Indies at home and scored a match-winning 65 off 31 balls in the last match at Kolkata's Eden Gardens.

The 31-year-old from Mumbai suffered a hairline fracture while fielding during the same match and will miss the series against Sri Lanka starting on Thursday in Lucknow.

Chahar suffered an injury to his right quadriceps while bowling against West Indies.
