Matheesha Pathirana also finds his place in the squad after being left out of the ODIs that precede the T20Is. The two-match ODI series will be played from August 29, with the first match in Harare. The second ODI will be played on August 31. Meanwhile, the T20Is will be held on September 3, 6 and 7, respectively. All ODIs and T20Is will be played in Harare.
