Sri Lanka drops Mathews from World Cup qualifiers; Pathirana named in 15-member squad

The Hindu  

Sri Lanka cricket board on Friday named a 15-member squad for its World Cup qualifying matches in Zimbabwe, leaving out former skipper Angelo Mathews. The 36-year-old Mathews scored 12 runs from 21 balls in his last ODI at home earlier this month, when Sri Lanka lost to Afghanistan by six wickets at Hambantota in the first game of a three-match series. Pathirana isn’t the only newbie in Sri Lanka’s squad, with 29-year-old Dushan Hemantha also selected after making just one ODI appearance in his career – a week ago against Afghanistan. Sri Lanka’s first qualifying match for the 2023 ODI World Cup is on June 19 against the United Arab Emirates at Bulawayo, followed by matches against Oman, Ireland and Scotland.
