Colombo, Feb 28 (IANS) Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) have named a 17-member squad for the T20I leg of the upcoming tour of Bangladesh. Charith Asalanka will lead the side in the first two T20Is in the absence of regular captain Wanindu Hasaranga, who will serve a two-match ban for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct.
Hasaranga had accumulated three demerit points and a 50 per cent fine of match fee after the T20I series against Afghanistan.
