Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has named a 17-player squad for the upcoming T20I tour of Zimbabwe. Charith Asalanka will continue to lead the team and he will be accompanied by several fellow star attractions from the island nation.
Star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga continues to remain sidelined from Sri Lanka’s T20I group, considering the cricketer last represented his country in the format back in January this year during a tour of New Zealand.

SLC also gave maiden T20I call-ups to Vishen Halambage and Dushan Hemantha. Senior fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera will be making his return to the Sri Lankan team after a year-and-a-half. Here is a look at the entire Sri Lanka team for the T20I series against Zimbabwe:
