Breaking: Wanindu Hasaranga Retires from Test Cricket! The Legspinner Has Played Just Four Tests

Wanindu Hasaranga Retires from Test Cricket! The Legspinner Has Played Just Four Tests: Sri Lankan all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has immediately announced his retirement from Test cricket. The 26-year-old decided to focus on his limited overs career, where he has been one of the world’s leading bowlers in recent years.

Hasaranga made his Test debut in 2020 but only played four matches in the format. He took four wickets at an average of 100.75 and scored 196 runs at an average of 28.00. However, he has been much more successful in limited-overs cricket, where he has taken 67 wickets in 48 ODIs and 91 wickets in 58 T20Is. He was the leading wicket-taker in the 2021 T20 World Cup, and he was also named the player of the tournament.

In a statement, Hasaranga said that he had made the decision to retire from Test cricket after careful consideration. “I have always loved playing Test cricket, but I feel that the time is right for me to focus on my limited overs career,” he said. “I want to be able to give my all to the white-ball formats, and I believe this is the best decision for me and Sri Lanka cricket.”

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) accepted Hasaranga’s decision, and they said that they were confident that he would continue to be a key player for the team in limited overs cricket. “We respect Wanindu’s decision, and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” said SLC CEO Ashley de Silva. “He is a world-class bowler and will be a valuable asset to our team in the white-ball formats.”

Hasaranga’s retirement is a blow to Sri Lanka’s Test team, but it is understandable given his success in limited overs cricket. He is one of the most talented bowlers in the world, and he will be a major asset to Sri Lanka in the ODI and T20 World Cups in the coming years.
