Sri Lanka's Mathews out of World Cup final

Sri Lanka all-rounder Angelo Mathews was on Friday ruled out of the World Cup final and has been replaced by Suraj Randiv, the ICC announced.

Off spinner Randiv, who was flown in Thursday as cover, along with veteran seamer Chaminda Vaas, was cleared to join the squad as a replacement player.

Randiv, 26, who made his one-day debut against India in 2009, has taken 22 ODI wickets. He last played when Sri Lanka toured Australia for a one-day series last year.

All-rounder Mathews, 23, picked up a right-side strain while fielding during Tuesday's semi-final win against New Zealand.
