Dhawan to miss remainder of Sri Lanka tour

September 3rd to see his ailing mother." "Mr Dhawan’s mother is stable and is recovering well at the moment," the statement added.However, the board has decided not to name a replacement for Dhawan as the men in blue have already taken an unassailable 4-0 lead in the five-match ODI series.
