Sri Lanka’s majestic off spinner Akila Dananjaya, who did not travel with the team for the Asia Cup, will join the team on Sunday, 16th September. He will fly to UAE tomorrow.
Akila did not travel with the team, as he had to attend the birth of his first child.
Sri Lanka have lost 29 of 39 matches since the start of 2017. Their most recent series saw them losing at home to South Africa. The scoreline in the series was 2-3, but both of Sri Lanka’s victories came after South Africa had won the series.
To make things worse, Sri Lanka have plenty of injury concerns too. Dinesh Chandimal and Danuskha Gunathilaka are already out.
However, they will be boosted with plenty of experience in the form of Lasith Malinga. The veteran pacer hasn’t played an international game in more than a year, but if he can find form, it could solve plenty of problems for Sri Lanka.
