Sri Lanka's Hasaranga out of retirement for BD Test series

Wednesday, 20 March 2024


Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has come out of Test retirement for the two-match series in Bangladesh starting on March 22 (Friday), reports AFP.
The 26-year-old, who announced his retirement from Test cricket in August to prolong his limited-overs career, was included in Sri Lanka's 17-man squad on Monday.
Hasaranga is one of two changes from the one-off Test against Afghanistan in February, with left-handed batsman Nishan Peiris getting his maiden Test call-up. Hasaranga and Peiris replaced Asitha Fernando and Milan Rathnayake in the squad. Hasaranga's inclusion means he will miss the start of the Indian Premier League with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
