Sri Lanka Announces Squad for Zimbabwe ODIs, Hasaranga Out
Sri Lanka's cricket team has picked its players for an upcoming match against Zimbabwe.
Some players were chosen for the first time, while others are coming back after a break.
A key player, Wanindu Hasaranga, can't play because he got hurt.
The team will play two matches in Zimbabwe starting in late August.
After this, they'll play in the Men’s T20 Asia Cup in September.
Sri Lanka has announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming ODI series against Zimbabwe.
Wanindu Hasaranga is excluded due to a hamstring injury sustained in July.
Jeffrey Vandersay and Maheesh Theekshana will handle specialist spin bowling duties.
Pavan Rathnayake and Nuwanidu Fernando received their maiden call-ups to the team.
The ODI series will begin on August 29 in Harare, followed by the second match two days later.
