The Zimbabwe cricket team toured Sri Lanka in January 2022 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches. [1] [2] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020β2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. [3] [4]
Originally, Zimbabwe were scheduled to tour Sri Lanka in October 2020 to play three ODIs and two Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. [5] The tour was provisionally scheduled for the middle of October 2020 as part of the schedule released by the International Cricket Council in 2018. [6] However, the series did not take place, and was later rescheduled for January 2022. [7] On 4 January 2022, Rumesh Ratnayake was named as interim head coach for Sri Lanka, after Mickey Arthur's contract ended in December 2021. [8] Craig Ervine was again named as Zimbabwe's captain for the tour, after previously leading the team for their visits to Ireland and Scotland in August and September 2021. [9]
Sri Lanka won the opening match by five wickets, [10] with Zimbabwe's Sean Williams top-scoring with a century. [11] Zimbabwe won the second match by 22 runs to level the series. [12] Sri Lanka's Dasun Shanaka scored a century but, just as Sean Williams in the first match, the centurion ended up on the losing side. [13] In the final match of the series, Zimbabwe were bowled out for 70 runs, [14] with Sri Lanka winning by 184 runs to win the series 2β1. [15]
On 7 January 2022, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) lifted the suspensions of Niroshan Dickwella, Danushka Gunathilaka and Kusal Mendis. [18] The players had initially been banned by the SLC from international cricket for one year after breaking COVID-19 bio-bubble rules during the tour of England in July 2021, but became available for selection when their bans were ended early. [19]
Prior to the series, Sri Lanka's vice-captain, Dhananjaya de Silva pulled out of the tour following the birth of his first child. [20] Janith Liyanage, Kamil Mishara and Avishka Fernando were ruled out of the tour, after they each tested positive for COVID-19. [21] [22] Lahiru Kumara and Kalana Perera were not selected due to poor fitness standards. [23] Zimbabwe coach Lalchand Rajput also tested positive ahead of the series, meaning that he would miss at least the first two ODI matches. [24]
Sri Lanka also named Ashen Bandara, Pulina Tharanga, Nimesh Vimukthi, Ashian Daniel, Asitha Fernando and Vishwa Fernando as standby players. [25] Minod Bhanuka was ruled out of Sri Lanka's squad, with Niroshan Dickwella added as his replacement, with Ashen Bandara also added to their main squad. [26]
