HASARANGA MOST WANTED EVEN HALF FIT
Daily Mirror - Sri Lanka
|September 10, 2025
Sri Lanka will be banking heavily on talismanic leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga when they open their Asia Cup T20 campaign against Bangladesh in Abu Dhabi on Saturday in what promises to be a defining early clash of the tournament.
Charith Asalanka’s men, who suffered a painful 2-1 home T20 series defeat to Bangladesh in July, are determined to turn the tables in their quest for continental glory. For that, they hope Hasaranga’s presence, even at less than full fitness, will be enough to tilt the balance in their favour.
The 28-year-old leg-spinner, Sri Lanka’s leading T20 wicket-taker with 131 scalps in just 79 matches at an astonishing average of 15.41, rejoined the squad in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday alongside batsman Janith Liyanage.
Despite carrying the remnants of a hamstring injury picked up during the ODI series against Bangladesh in July, the selectors have all but confirmed his inclusion for the opening fixture.
