Sri Lanka Drops Wickramasinghe For Australia ODIs, Opts For Spin-heavy Squad
The decision to exclude Wickramasinghe aligns with the team's strategy of bolstering their spin attack, considering the home conditions. It is altogether another matter that Sri Lanka lost 0-2 to Australia in the two-Test series at Galle, failing to capitalise on the spin-friendly conditions.
The selection committee has opted for a spin-heavy squad, a move driven by the nature of Sri Lankan pitches that traditionally favour slow bowlers. Dunith Wellalage, who has emerged as a key player in such conditions, retains his spot as a spin-bowling all-rounder.
