Digital Desk: Sri Lanka bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga announced his retirement from Test cricket on Tuesday in order to focus on his limited-overs career. The 26-year-old made his Test debut against South Africa in December 2020 and has played in only four Tests. His last Test was against Bangladesh at home more than two years ago, in April 2021. On Tuesday, Hasaranga informed Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) of his decision to retire, which was accepted by the board.
"Sri Lanka Men's all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has informed Sri Lanka Cricket that he will retire from test cricket. Announcing his decision, Hasaranga stated that the reason for the move is to extend his career as a limited-overs specialist," Sri Lanka Cricket said.
"We will accept his decision and are confident that Hasaranga will be a vital part of our white-ball program going forward," said Ashley De Silva, CEO of Sri Lanka Cricket.

Hasaranga recently played a key role in Sri Lanka's qualification for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. They won the Qualifier in Zimbabwe, with the all-rounder ending as the tournament's highest wicket-taker with 22 scalps.
