Shanaka, a former white ball formats captain of Sri Lanka, left Sinhalese Sports Club's three-day match against Moors Sports Club in the Major League Tournament after playing the first two days.

He was one of the three players who were recalled by SSC for the match against Moors, as they were trying to avoid relegation.
