Leg-spinner Vijayakanth Viyaskanth has earned a call-up to the Sri Lankan men's T20I squad for the Tri-Series in Pakistan. He will link up with the team directly from Qatar, where he has been playing in the Asia Cup Rising Stars Tournament for the 'A' side. Viyaskanth's inclusion fills the void left by star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, who is recovering from a hamstring injury. Sri Lanka's series begins on November 20 with a match against Zimbabwe in Rawalpindi, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter against hosts Pakistan.
