Ace Sri Lanka spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga was not named in the ODI squad against Zimbabwe. The move came as the spinner was recovering from the hamstring injury. The T20I squad for the series was unveiled on August 29 and he was not named in the squad as he is still recovering from the injury. It would be interesting to see whether the veteran makes it to the Asia Cup 2025 in time or will miss the tournament for Sri Lanka.
