It Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has announced its one -day international squad for the next white ball tour Zimbabwea crucial stop in its programming before the 2025 Male Asian Cup. The selection has caught significant attention, mainly due to the obvious absence of two key players: the integral form in shape Canaan is not And the promising young Pealer Have malinga. The template, which goes to Zimbabwe, is a combination of new names and new faces, in charge of finding rhythm and cohesion in a vital series. The two -party hate series will begin from August 29.

No Wanindu Hasaranga on Sri Lanka’s hatred template

Hasaranga’s absence from the hatred template could be a direct consequence of a sad injury, a strain he suffered during the third and last hatred against Bangladesh. This is a significant blow to Sri Lanka, given its phenomenal form in this series, where it appeared as the main wicker head with a new scalp at an exceptional average of 11.67. His contributions with Bat and Ball make it an indispensable part of the team’s balance, a complete dynamic capable of putting a game on his head. Selectors have probably chosen a cautious approach, allowing them to recover -but their physical form is still an important concern ahead of the Asia Cup. Its presence on the team would be crucial for their Spin attack, which is now based on others to increase and fill the gap left by their first leg spirits.

Esan according to the absence of Zimbabwe Tour

The exclusion of Young Fast-Bowler Malinga of the Died template, despite his IPL experience with Sunrisers HyderabadIt seems to be a strategic decision of the Sri Lanka selectors. After a subpar performance in the recent League SLC T20, selectors seem to be choosing to manage their workload and could prepare it exclusively for the T20 format. The text indicates that Malinga is considered as a “T20 specialist” and a “crucial part” of the team’s plans for the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates. This suggests that the direction prioritizes its development for the shortest format, believing that their skills and their rhythm are more suitable for T20IS.
