DUBAI (Monitoring Desk): Sri Lanka’s ODI captain Upul Tharanga has pulled out of the scheduled T20 International scheduled to be held in Lahore later this month, international media reported on Monday.
According to a report by sports website Cricbuzz, the Sri Lankan skipper’s refusal to take part in the Lahore T20 also makes him ineligible to captain the first two games of the series as well.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) had earlier said that the same squad would play all three games against Pakistan. In the ODI skipper’s absence, wicketkeeper-batsman Kusal Perera is the most likely candidate to lead the Sri Lankan side in the three-match series.
Sri Lankan cricketers Dilshan Munaweera, Ashan Priyanjan, and Isuru Udana have already announced their willingness to participate in the match. SLC’s Executive Committee is scheduled to meet later tonight to discuss the matter and announce its final decision regarding the T20 match scheduled in Lahore later this month.
