Sri Lanka have named both their T20I and ODI squads against India in the upcoming India vs Sri Lanka white-ball series, which will commence from 3rd January 2022. Under the captaincy of all-rounder Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka have looked like a rejuvenated and re-energised unit and recently won the Asia Cup 2022.
The Lions have named a strong team. Bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has been named as the vice-captain of the T20I side and Kusal Mendis has been named as the deputy captain in the ODI squad.
India had announced their white-ball squads yesterday and we are in for a crackerjack of a series as both teams look extremely potent and formidable on paper. The likes of Bhanuka Rajapaksha and Nuwan Thusara will be playing only the T20I series and Nuwanidu Fernando and Jeffrey Vandersay will be competing only in the ODI series.
