Sri Lanka Test captain Dasun Shanaka has been named as their T20I vice-captain for their upcoming tri-series with Pakistan and Zimbabwe.

Sri Lanka have named their squads for both the T20I series and their three-match ODI series against Pakistan, which will be played first.

Fast bowler Eshan Malinga is set to make his debut in the 20-over format, while middle-order batter Pavan Rathnayake could do the same in the ODI series.

Dilshan Madushanka and Matheesha Pathirana have been left out of the ODI and T20I squads, respectively, due to injuries, with Asitha Fernando replacing the latter.

This will be Sri Lanka’s first set of fixtures in the shortest format since the Asia Cup, where they lost all three games in the winner’s stage of the tournament.
