Fernando, Dananjaya, Vandersay Back In Squad As Sri Lanka Announce Kusal Mendis Led 17-member Squad For Zimbabwe Series
In a strategic overhaul, Sri Lanka's ODI cricket team underwent a significant transformation ahead of the three-match series against Zimbabwe. Kusal Mendis, appointed as the full-time ODI captain, leads a squad marked by the return of Avishka Fernando, Jeffrey Vandersay, and Akila Dananjaya.
The Upul Tharanga-led selection committee, wielded the axe, introducing eight new faces while excluding players like Kusal Perera, Dimuth Karunaratne, and Angelo Mathews. The exclusion of Dhananjaya de Silva, often criticized for batting too low, stirred debates, with selectors advocating for his promotion to the top three.
