Wanindu Hasaranga to ply his trade for RCB in IPL 2023

With his impactful performances in white-ball cricket, Wanindu Hasaranga has emerged as a hot pick for franchises across the world.

The 25-year-old was originally scheduled to play for the Quetta Gladiators in the ongoing eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2023). He was set to play six matches in the league. However, he was later ruled out of the entire competition as Sri Lanka wanted to manage the all-rounder's workload.

Hasaranga is expected to join the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) squad following Sri Lanka's six white-ball matches in New Zealand. The T20I series between the two nations ends on April 8. The youngster could miss the initial matches of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) owing to national duty.

Wanindu Hasaranga was in top form in the previous edition, finishing as the second-highest wicket-taker with 26 scalps from 16 games.

RCB will open their IPL 2023 campaign with their clash against Mumbai Indians (MI) at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 2.
