A 21-man squad has been announced by Sri Lanka for the upcoming five-match ODI series against Australia, starting June 14. The matches will be a part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. Left-handed batter Bhanuka Rajapaksa makes a return to the 50-overs set-up. Earlier, SL had named a 26-man provisional squad for both ODIs and T20Is. Here's more.

Rajapaksa
Rajapaksa's rich form could benefit Sri Lanka

Rajapaksa marked his ODI debut against India in July 2021. He last played an ODI against SA in September 2021. He had announced his retirement from international cricket earlier this year. However, he reversed his decision 10 days later. The southpaw had a terrific run in IPL 2022. Playing for Punjab Kings, he racked up 206 runs in nine matches, striking close to 160.

Nissanka marks a return; Wellalage eyes debut

Opener Pathum Nissanka has been added to the ODI squad after missing out on the Test tours of India and Bangladesh owing to a back injury. He has 232 runs from 12 ODIs (two fifties). Dunith Wellalage would be raring to make his international debut. The slow left-arm orthodox holds 34 scalps from 11 FC matches. In List A, he has clipped 12 wickets.

Information
Hasaranga's spin prowess could trouble the Aussies

Wanindu Hasaranga is a premium bowler in the limited-overs. The leg-spinner has claimed 29 scalps in as many ODI. His presence bolsters SL's bowling attack. He looks in a good form, having picked four wickets in the second T20I against Australia.

Squad
Sri Lanka's ODI squad for Australia

Sri Lanka ODI squad: Dasun Shanaka (captain), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Danushka Gunathilaka, Charith Asalanka, Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Niroshan Dickwella, Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara, Asitha Fernando, Ramesh Mendis, Praveen Jayawickrama, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Lahiru Madushanka, Pramod Madushan, Dunith Wellalage.
