Wanindu Hasaranga likely to miss Afghanistan ODI series

Published

on

Sri Lanka’s Wanindu Hasaranga who turned out for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is all set to miss the upcoming Afghanistan tour of Sri Lanka with a niggle on right-knee.

Hasaranga joined RCB a little late after the beginning of the season as he was with his national team who were involved in a bilateral series against New Zealand where they lost the T20I series 2-1.

The spinner played his first match this season on 15th April against Delhi Capitals and his last match was versus the Mumbai Indians on 9th May. Adding to this, he featured in a total of eight matches where his performance was underwhelming with just nine wickets to his name at an economy of 8.9.

Wanindu was already dealing with some problems which kept him out of action for a few matches at the end of the season.

Last night, RCB were eliminated from the IPL after a loss to Gujarat Titans despite an outstanding century from Virat Kohli. RCB finished in sixth place with seven wins from 14 matches as they achieved 14 points by the end of the season.

Coming back to the Sri Lanka series, they would welcome the Afghanistan side for a three-match ODI series that would begin on 2nd June and run until the 7th in Hambantota.

වනිඳු හසරංගට ඇෆ්ගනිස්තාන එක්දින තරගාවලිය අහිමි වීමට ඉඩ තිබේ

ඉන්දීය ප්‍රිමියර් ලීග් (IPL) තරඟාවලියේ Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) කණ්ඩායමට සහභාගී වූ ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ වනිඳු හසරංග දකුණු දණහිසට වැදීම හේතුවෙන් එළඹෙන ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ ඇෆ්ගනිස්ථාන සංචාරය මග හැරීමට සූදානමින් සිටී.

හසරංග නවසීලන්තයට එරෙහිව ද්විපාර්ශ්වික තරඟාවලියකට සම්බන්ධ වූ තම ජාතික කණ්ඩායම සමඟ සිටි නිසා තරඟ වාරය ආරම්භයෙන් පසුව මඳක් ප්‍රමාද වී RCB හා එක්විය. එහිදී ඔවුන් T20I තරඟාවලිය 2-1ක් ලෙස පරාජයට පත් විය.

දඟ පන්දු යවන්නා මෙම වාරයේ ඔහුගේ පළමු තරඟය අප්‍රේල් 15 වන දින දිල්ලි කැපිටල්ස්ට එරෙහිව ක්‍රීඩා කළ අතර ඔහුගේ අවසන් තරඟය වූයේ මැයි 9 වනදා මුම්බායි ඉන්දියන්ස් කණ්ඩායමට එරෙහිවය. මෙයට අමතරව, ඔහු මුළු තරඟ අටකටම සහභාගී වූ අතර එහිදී ඔහුගේ දක්‍ෂතාවය දුර්වල වූයේ ඔහුගේ නමට කඩුලු 9ක් පමණක් 8.9 ක ආර්ථිකයක් සමඟිනි.

විරාත් කෝලිගේ විශිෂ්ට ශතකයක් තිබියදීත් ගුජරාට් ටයිටන්ස් හමුවේ පරාජයට පත්වීමෙන් පසු RCB ඊයේ රාත්‍රියේ IPL තරඟාවලියෙන් ඉවත් විය. තරග වාරය අවසන් වන විට ලකුණු 14ක් ලබා සිටි RCB තරග 14කදී ජයග්‍රහණ හතක් ලබා හයවැනි ස්ථානයට පත්විය.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා තරඟාවලියට ආපසු පැමිණීමෙන්, ඔවුන් තරඟ තුනකින් යුත් එක්දින තරඟාවලියක් සඳහා ඇෆ්ගනිස්ථාන කණ්ඩායම සාදරයෙන් පිළිගනු ඇති අතර එය ජුනි 2 වන දින ආරම්භ වී 7 වන තෙක් හම්බන්තොට දී පැවැත්වේ.

வனிந்து ஹசரங்க ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் ஒருநாள் தொடரை இழக்க வாய்ப்புள்ளது

இந்தியன் பிரீமியர் லீக்கில் (ஐபிஎல்) ராயல் சேலஞ்சர்ஸ் பெங்களூர் (ஆர்சிபி) அணிக்காக வெளியேறிய இலங்கையின் வனிந்து ஹசரங்க, வலது முழங்காலில் நிக்கப்படுவதால், வரவிருக்கும் இலங்கைக்கான ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் சுற்றுப்பயணத்தை இழக்கத் தயாராக உள்ளார்.

நியூசிலாந்துக்கு எதிரான இருதரப்பு தொடரில் ஈடுபட்டிருந்த ஹசரங்கா தனது தேசிய அணியுடன் இருந்ததால், சீசனின் தொடக்கத்தில் சிறிது தாமதமாக RCB இல் இணைந்தார், அங்கு அவர்கள் T20I தொடரை 2-1 என இழந்தனர்.

சுழற்பந்து வீச்சாளர் இந்த சீசனில் தனது முதல் போட்டியை ஏப்ரல் 15 ஆம் தேதி டெல்லி கேபிடல்ஸுக்கு எதிராக விளையாடினார், மேலும் அவரது கடைசி போட்டி மே 9 ஆம் தேதி மும்பை இந்தியன்ஸுக்கு எதிராக இருந்தது. இதனுடன் சேர்த்து, அவர் மொத்தம் எட்டு போட்டிகளில் இடம்பெற்றார், அங்கு அவரது செயல்திறன் 8.9 என்ற பொருளாதாரத்தில் அவரது பெயருக்கு ஒன்பது விக்கெட்டுகளுடன் குறைவாக இருந்தது.

வனிந்து ஏற்கனவே சில பிரச்சனைகளை எதிர்கொண்டதால், சீசனின் முடிவில் சில போட்டிகளில் விளையாட முடியாமல் இருந்தார்.

நேற்றிரவு, விராட் கோலியின் சிறப்பான சதம் இருந்தபோதிலும் குஜராத் டைட்டன்ஸ் அணியிடம் தோல்வியடைந்த RCB ஐபிஎல்லில் இருந்து வெளியேற்றப்பட்டது. சீசனின் முடிவில் 14 புள்ளிகளைப் பெற்றதால் RCB 14 போட்டிகளில் ஏழு வெற்றிகளுடன் ஆறாவது இடத்தைப் பிடித்தது.

மீண்டும் இலங்கை தொடருக்கு வரும்போது, மூன்று போட்டிகள் கொண்ட ஒருநாள் தொடருக்கு ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் அணியை அவர்கள் வரவேற்பார்கள், அது ஜூன் 2ஆம் தேதி தொடங்கி 7ஆம் தேதி வரை அம்பாந்தோட்டையில் நடைபெறும்.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have been actively reshaping their bowling unit, and Madushanka’s arrival is expected to add both variety and depth. His international experience, particularly in high-pressure situations, makes him a valuable asset as the team navigates the latter half of the competition.
