Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has ended his Test career for the sake of his thriving white-ball fortunes. He is among the best spinners in the world, when it comes to the shortest format, and represents numerous franchises across the world along with his national team.
According to reports, Hasaranga had written to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), expressing his desire to play only white-ball cricket and giving his best in the two formats for the national team moving forward. The board has apparently accepted his request as he is officially not a Test cricketer anymore.
Mr. Ashley De Silva, CEO of SLC, released a statement on Tuesday.
"We will accept his decision and are confident that Hasaranga will be a vital part of our white-ball program going forward," the statement read.
