Ahead of the three-ODI series against Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka's top-order batter Avishka Fernando has tested positive for Covid-19. Fernando was ruled out from the series before he entered the team bio-bubble.

Captain Dasun Shanaka, who earlier tested positive for Covid-19, returns to the squad after fully recovering and will be leading against Zimbabwe. Earlier it was announced that all-rounder and ace spinner Wanindu Hasaranga too would not be available for the series due to an injury.
