Sri Lanka Cricket has drafted leg-spinner Vijayakanth Viyaskanth into the national squad for the upcoming T20I tri-series in Pakistan.
Viyaskanth will join the team directly from Qatar, where he represented Sri Lanka A in the Asia Cup Rising Stars tournament. His call-up comes as Wanindu Hasaranga continues to recover from the hamstring tightness he picked up during the ODI series.
The tri-series features Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe, with Sri Lanka set to play their opening match against Zimbabwe on 20 November in Rawalpindi.
Series schedule (all matches at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium):
18 November – Pakistan v Zimbabwe
20 November – Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe
22 November – Pakistan v Sri Lanka
23 November – Pakistan v Zimbabwe
25 November – Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe
27 November – Pakistan v Sri Lanka
