Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga called time on his Test career on Tuesday. A maverick in limited overs, Hasaranga has often found himself out of favour in the longest format of the game. With a number of t20 franchise leagues blossoming, the RCB star has turned his focus to limited-overs cricket.
“We will accept his decision and are confident that Hasaranga will be a vital part of our white-ball program going forward,” said Mr. Ashley De Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket
Hasaranga said the reason behind the move is to prolong his career as a limited-overs specialist. The 26-year-old plays for RCB in the IPL, while has deals in the CPL, PSL and MLC.
The all-rounder has played four test matches for Sri Lanka; however, the 26-year-old has represented the country in 48 one-day internationals and 58 T20I games.
Hasaranga will be seen in action during the upcoming Asia Cup 2023 in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. He is a vital cog in the limited overs sides of SL, and will play a key part in their World Cup campaign.
