Dilshan, who hurt his right calf during Sri Lanka's Champions Trophy semi-final clash against India, had suffered a second degree tear and has been advised rest for 4-6 weeks, according to a Sri Lanka team spokesperson.
The tri-series, which also features India, begins on June 28 and the Lankan selectors are expected to name Dilshan's replacement soon.
The right-handed opener, who made a positive start in the match against India on Thursday, hit Umesh Yadav for back-to-back boundaries in the 4th over before pulling his calf muscle. Despite extensive treatment from the physio, who administered pain-killers, Dilshan found the pain unbearable and was forced to retire hurt. A limping Dilshan returned to bat in the 49th over and remained unbeaten on 18.
