We are shocked, but apart from that everyone is okay."Thilan (Samaraweera) has a shrapnel wound in his leg, but he is fine. (Tharanga) Paranavitana had shrapnel in his chest, but thank God it wasn't very deep and just on the surface."I had shrapnel injuries in my shoulder, but they have all been removed and I'm okay now."Ajantha (Mendis) had shrapnel in his neck and scalp, but he too has had medical attention and is fine."Everyone else is perfectly all right."Thilan Thushara was the fifth player confirmed by Sri Lanka sports minister Gamini Lokuge to have been injured.</blockquote>
