Sri Lanka has received a major setback ahead of the ODI series against New Zealand, as star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
Hasaranga, who played a crucial role in the recent T20I series against New Zealand, suffered the injury during the second T20I. He has returned to Colombo to undergo rehabilitation under the supervision of the team’s medical staff.
Dushan Hemantha has been named as Hasaranga’s replacement in the ODI squad. The first ODI is scheduled to be played on November 13th in Dambulla, followed by two more matches in Pallekele.
Hasaranga’s absence is a significant loss for Sri Lanka, especially considering his impressive form in recent times. His ability to bowl economical spells and take crucial wickets has been a key asset for the team.
The upcoming ODI series against New Zealand is crucial for Sri Lanka as they look to build on their recent positive performances. The team will have to rely on their other bowlers to fill the void left by Hasaranga and deliver strong performances.
