Chamari Athapaththu to Captain Sri Lanka in Asia Cup T20

 
Sri Lanka has announced a well-known 15-player squad for the upcoming Asia Cup T20, with Chamari Athapaththu set to captain the team. The squad includes many players who contributed to Sri Lanka’s historic first-ever series win against South Africa in any format earlier this year.

Vishmi Gunaratne, the 18-year-old opener who demonstrated remarkable maturity during the South Africa tour, has been retained. Kavisha Dilhari, the middle-order batter who performed well on that tour, is also included. Additionally, 26-year-old Harshitha Samarawickrama, whose composed half-century in the decisive third T20I secured the series win, is part of the squad.

Team: Chamari Athapaththu (captain), Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Hasini Perera, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodhani, Achini Kulasuriya, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Kawya Kavindi, Sachini Nisansala, Shashini Gimhani, Ama Kanchana

Wicketkeeper Anushka Sanjeewani, left-arm bowler Udeshika Prabodhani, and right-arm pacer Achini Kulasuriya, who did not feature in Sri Lanka’s recent T20I series against the West Indies but performed well in the ODI matches, have earned spots in the Asia Cup squad due to their impressive performances. Sri Lanka lost the T20I series to the West Indies but secured a 3-0 victory in the ODI series.

Heading into the tournament, Sri Lanka is considered one of the top contenders, having achieved notable victories against England and South Africa in away T20I series over the past year.
