Sri Lanka have announced changes to their squad for the T20I tri-series against Zimbabwe and hosts Pakistan.
A statement from Sri Lanka Cricket Board confirmed that skipper Charith Asalanka and pacer Asitha Fernando will be missing out on the series owing to illness.
The two players will be returning back home, a precautionary measure to ensure that they receive proper care and sufficient time to recover for future assignments.
Meanwhile, former captain and seasoned all-rounder Dasun Shanaka will take over the reins for the upcoming tri-series in Pakistan.
