Sri Lanka Name Charith Asalanka Captain For ODIs Against India, Madushanka Gets Maiden Call-up
Asalanka's promotion to T20I captain was anticipated following Hasaranga's resignation, but the change in ODI leadership was somewhat surprising, especially given that Mendis had held the position for a short time. Under Mendis' captaincy, Sri Lanka won six of the eight completed ODIs including five consecutive home matches against Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, but lost 2-1 away to Bangladesh.
Nonetheless, Asalanka has been one of Sri Lanka's most consistent ODI batters, boasting an average of 43.59 and a strike rate of 90 across 52 innings. Test batter Nishan Madushka, 24, has received his maiden ODI call-up. Additionally, Akila Dananjaya and Chamika Karunaratne have been recalled to the squad.
