Angelo Mathews returns for Zimbabwe T20Is

Veteran Angelo Mathews has been named in Sri Lanka’s squad for the upcoming T20I series at home against Zimbabwe. The 36-year-old, who last featured for Sri Lanka in the shortest format back in 2021, once again finds himself back in the reckoning during a World Cup year, as was the case during the recent ODI World Cup. Mathews had also been left out of the 50-over format since 2021 but injuries saw him making the cut to the squad later on as a replacement. The T20I series will see Wanindu Hasaranga taking over as Sri Lanka’s full-time captain in the shortest forma while Charith Asalanka will reprise his vice-captain role from the ODI side. Apart from the skipper who makes a return from injury, the likes of Nuwan Thushara and Akila Dananjaya are the other notable comeback men in the squad. After a raw start to his career, Thushara has made significant progress in domestic cricket and also across franchise leagues in the world. The 29-year-old was snapped up by Mumbai Indians in the 2024 IPL Auction. Meanwhile, Dananjaya’s comeback enforces Sri Lanka’s spin options as they prepare for the upcoming World Cup in West Indies and USA. Talking about the spin options, ambidextrous all-rounder Kamindu Mendis also makes a return to the squad while Dunith Wellalage and Chamika Karunaratne have been left out. Pathum Nissanka’s participation will be subject to a fitness test as the opener has been under the injury cloud. Squad: Wanindu Hasaranga(c), Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Kusal Janith Perera, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka. Dhananjaya de Silva, Kamindu Mendis, Pathum Nissanka – subject to fitness, Maheesh Theekshana. Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara, Akila Dananjaya

ODI leg added to Afghanistan’s tour of Sri Lanka

The Afghanistan Cricket Board, on Sunday, announced the dates for Afghanistan’s all-formats away tour of Sri Lanka which will be held in February. Afghanistan will play a one-off Test followed by three ODIs and three T20Is. They will then head to the UAE where they will host Ireland for a full series which includes one Test, three ODIs and three T20Is. The one-off Test will be played at the SSC in Colombo from February 2 to 6. The R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will host the three ODIs on February 9, 11 and 14. The teams will then travel to Dambulla for the three T20Is which will be played on February 17, 19 and 21. The series against Ireland begins with the Test which will be held from February 28 to March 3 in Abu Dhabi. The ODIs and the T20Is will all be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. March 7, 9 and 12 are the dates announced for the ODI matches while the T20Is will be played on March 15, 17 and 18. The tour of Sri Lanka initially included only the Test and the three T20Is but the ACB held talks with the SLC to facilitate the addition of the three ODIs. “The addition of these three ODIs is a significant move to ensure a complete and comprehensive tour which not only provides good exposure to Afghanistan Cricket but will also foster stronger relations between the two nations. Playing Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka is always tricky but is a challenge that AfghanAtalan can easily embrace,” said ACB chairman Mirwais Ashraf. ACB CEO Naseem Khan added: “The Year 2024 is a very busy and full of highly voltage competitions for the Afghanistan National Team which is a very good and positive sign for Afghanistan Cricket. The upcoming tours of India, and Sri Lanka, and then the home series against Ireland will help us to prepare the team for the much-important T20 World Cup. Eagerly looking for the multiple series upfront.” @officialsquarexsports

Trent Alexander-Arnold: Liverpool defender out for ‘a few weeks’ with knee injury

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out for “a few weeks” with a knee injury. The England international, 25, suffered the injury during Sunday’s 2-0 FA Cup third round win against Arsenal. “Trent hyperextended his knee during the last game so he has a little tear in the lateral ligament of his knee and he will need time to recover,” said Liverpool assistant Pep Lijnders. “He had a scan and he will be out for a few weeks, so let’s see after that.” Lijnders added: “It is a big blow as he was one of our most important players. Even in bad spells he was the one putting the balls where we needed the difference. “We will have to find new dynamics without him because he made our game flexible but hopefully it is three weeks. “He will get some rest and then hopefully he can come back to where he was. Because this guy was decisive in all the games and was the one who created constantly for us from deep and gave the team a high level of flexibility. “We will really miss him.” It means Alexander-Arnold will definitely miss Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Fulham at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp’s side then face Bournemouth in the Premier League on 21 January with the second leg against the Cottagers taking place three days later. They then face Norwich or Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup fourth round on the weekend of the 27 January before rounding off the month hosting Chelsea in the Premier League on 31 January. Alexander-Arnold, who was appointed club vice-captain last summer, has made 25 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this season, scoring two goals. Although primarily a right-back, the academy graduate has successfully pushed forward into midfield at times this season. Liverpool are already without forward Mohamed Salah as he is on international duty with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations, while midfielder Wataru Endo is with Japan at the Asia Cup. Lijnders said left-backs Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas should return to training at the end of the month as they continue their recovery from shoulder injuries. Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is also still out with a hamstring problem but captain Virgil van Dijk is fit to face Fulham on Wednesday after recovering from illness. The Merseyside club are three points clear at the top of the Premier League and have progressed through to the knockout stages of the Europa League.
