Sri Lanka has named Wanindu Hasaranga in their Twenty20 squad for the upcoming Asia Cup, despite the all-rounder's absence from the Zimbabwe tour due to a hamstring injury.
Injured during the series against Bangladesh, Hasaranga will replace Dushan Hemantha in the squad for the Asia Cup, as he recovers. The team's spin options are reinforced with the inclusion of Dunith Wellalage and Maheesh Theekshana.
Although veteran Angelo Mathews did not make the list, former captain Dasun Shanaka is set to feature as a seam-bowling all-rounder. Sri Lanka will start their Group B campaign against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi on September 13.
