NEW DELHI: The Sri Lankan cricket board on Wednesday introduced a 17-man T20 squad for the upcoming tour of Bangladesh, with Wanindu Hasaranga main the workforce regardless of his current suspension.
The 26-year-old skipper won’t take part within the first two matches of the three-match event because of his Worldwide Cricket Council (ICC) ban. Hasaranga obtained the penalty for verbally abusing an umpire throughout a T20 match in opposition to Afghanistan.
In the course of the explicit match, Hasaranga contested an umpire’s determination to not name a no-ball on a excessive supply to Kamindu Mendis within the last over, with Sri Lanka needing 11 runs from three balls.
The primary T20 match of the sequence is scheduled for March 4. Along with the T20 matches, Sri Lanka can even play three one-day internationals and two Checks throughout their tour of Bangladesh, concluding on April 3.
Sri Lanka’s T20 squad: Wanindu Hasaranga (capt), Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Maheesh Theekshana, Dhananjaya de Silva, Kusal Perera, Dilshan Madushanka, Nuwan Thushara, Matheesha Pathirana, Akila Dananjaya, Binura Fernando, Kamindu Mendis, Avishka Fernando and Jeffrey Vandersay
