Sri Lanka Cricket has announced its ODI and T20I squads for the upcoming series against New Zealand, with Charith Asalanka set to continue as captain. Dasun Shanaka, the former skipper, and pace bowler Dushmantha Chameera will remain absent from the lineup, the latter due to ongoing health issues following a respiratory infection that sidelined him during the India series in July.
Kusal Perera makes his comeback to the ODI squad, last seen in Sri Lanka’s 50-over format against New Zealand in the 2023 World Cup. He recently contributed a stellar unbeaten 55 to clinch the third T20I against West Indies, showcasing his readiness for this crucial series. Paceman Mohamed Shiraz, who debuted against India, also rejoins the ODI squad after a brief hiatus.
The T20I series, set to commence New Zealand’s white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, will take place on November 9 and 10 in Dambulla, followed by the ODI series, which kicks off on November 13 and continues in Pallekele on November 17 and 19.
