Kusal Mendis, Wanindu Hasaranga Named Sri Lanka’s ODI And T20I Captains For Zimbabwe Series
Sri Lanka Preliminary T20I: Sri Lanka have announced that Kusal Mendis and Wanindu Hasaranga will be the captains of the men's ODI and T20I teams respectively for the home series against Zimbabwe in January, adding that Charith Asalanka will be the vice-captain in both formats.
The move also means that Dasun Shanaka has been freed from Sri Lanka leadership duties in white-ball cricket. Hasaranga has been out of action since suffering a hamstring injury in the Lanka Premier League in August. He underwent an operation, which subsequently ruled him out of the Asia Cup and the Men’s ODI World Cup.
Hasaranga, the leg-spin bowling all-rounder, is now all set to make a return to international cricket via the series against Zimbabwe, where he will be captaining Sri Lanka in T20I series, as they build up their preparation for 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, to be held in the West Indies and USA from June 4-30.
