Hasaranga retires from Test cricket

Sri Lanka bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga retires from Test cricket to extend his limited-overs playing career, says ICC in its website.

Hasaranga, 26, made his Test debut in December 2020 against South Africa, and since then has played in only four Tests.

His last Test was against Bangladesh at home, more than two years ago in April 2021.

Hasaranga informed Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) of his decision to retire on Tuesday and the board accepted it.

"We will accept his decision and are confident that Hasaranga will be a vital part of our white-ball program going forward," said Mr. Ashley De Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket.

The all-rounder has featured in 48 ODIs and 58 T20Is for his country, picking up a total of 158 wickets and scoring 1,365 runs.

Recently, Hasaranga was pivotal to Sri Lanka qualifying for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 after they emerged victorious in the Qualifier at Zimbabwe, with Hasaranga finishing as the top wicket-taker in the tournament with 22 scalps.
