Royal Challengers Bangalore has released both its Sri Lankan recruits- Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera- in order for them to join the Sri Lankan squad for its T20 World Cup qualfiers campaign starting at the end of this week, the franchise announced on Monday.

 

Hasaranga and Chameera were brought in by the Virat Kohli-led franchise ahead of the UAE leg of the competition, with the former playing two matches for the side. The latter, however, did not get an opportunity to play for the side.
