Wed Nov 13 12:04:02 UTC 2024: ## Sri Lankan Star Wanindu Hasaranga Ruled Out of ODI Series Against New Zealand
**Colombo, Sri Lanka** – Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has been ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand due to a left thigh injury. Hasaranga, who had been battling a previous injury, sustained the latest setback during the second T20I against the Kiwis.
Despite his injury, Hasaranga had an impressive T20 series, leading Sri Lanka to victory in the first match. However, his absence from the ODI series is a significant blow to the hosts.
In his place, Dushan Hemantha has been called up to the Sri Lankan squad. The first ODI is scheduled to take place tomorrow at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
Hasaranga’s absence will be felt by the Sri Lankan team, who will be hoping to maintain their strong performance against New Zealand.
