Colombo [Sri Lanka], March 17 (ANI): Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Committee on Friday named two 18-member squads for the ODI and T20I series against New Zealand.
The ODI series will hold special importance for the Dasun Shanaka-led team, as it carries ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League points with it.
Sri Lanka are at 10th place in the Super League table with 77 points. They will look to gain maximum points against New Zealand, and secure direct qualification for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.
The ODI series commences from March 25, while the T20I series will begin from April 2.
Fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera, who was named in both squads earlier, was withdrawn as he is still undergoing rehabilitation following his left ankle surgery.
