Hasaranga ruled out of ODI series against New Zealand
Colombo, Nov 12 (Daily Mirror) - Wanindu Hasaranga will miss the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand after sustaining a left hamstring injury while bowling in the second T20I.
Sri Lanka Cricket confirmed that Hasaranga has returned to Colombo and begun his rehabilitation at the High-Performance Centre.
Dushan Hemantha has been called up to replace Hasaranga in the squad.
The three-match ODI series will begin tomorrow, November 13, with the remaining two ODIs scheduled for November 17 and 19. The first match will be played at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium, while the final two will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
Meanwhile, New Zealand, who levelled the T20I series with a thrilling win on Sunday, will also be without key pacer Lockie Ferguson for the ODI series.
Ferguson, who took a hat-trick in the second T20I, was forced to leave the field due to discomfort while bowling his second over. He will not be fit to play in the ODIs.
Adam Milne has been added to the New Zealand squad as Ferguson's replacement. Ferguson will return to New Zealand today for scans to assess the injury and determine the recovery timeline.
