Sri Lanka’s leg-spinning all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga has announced his Test retirement at the age of 26. The leg-spinner has just played four Tests for the country, having made his Test debut in South Africa back in 2020, and has picked up just four Test wickets, averaging just over 100. Unlike Tests, Hasaranga has played 48 ODIs and 58 T20Is, where he has picked up 67 and 91 wickets respectively, playing a vital cog. At the First-Class level, the 26-year-old has scored 2657 runs, averaging 39.65 with the bat while picking up 102 wickets @27.66 with the ball. His last Test came against Bangladesh in 2021, and since then, the leg-spinner hasn’t been considered for any selection in the game's longest format.
