Sri Lanka is scheduled to take on Zimbabwe in the first ODI of a three-match series on Saturday, January 6, at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Following the ODI series, the two teams will also engage in a three-match T20I series starting on Sunday, January 11.
Sri Lanka had a challenging ODI World Cup campaign last year, finishing in the second-last position with two wins in nine matches. The recently appointed selection committee has implemented significant changes to the squad that participated in the World Cup. Notably, players such as Kusal Perera and Dhananjaya de Silva have been omitted from the team. The inclusion of Wanindu Hasaranga is subject to his fitness, as he is recovering from hamstring surgery. This series marks the first leadership role for Kusal Mendis since being appointed as the full-time captain, with Charith Asalanka named as his deputy.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, recently hosted Ireland in a three-match ODI series and suffered a 2-0 defeat. Craig Ervine has returned to the side and will captain the team. Unfortunately, Sean Williams is not part of the squad due to a side injury sustained in the second T20I against Ireland last month.
