Sri Lanka team announced for T20 series The three-match T20 series between India and Sri Lanka is to start from July 27, for which Team India has announced its team. Recently Sri Lanka Cricket also announced the team. The captaincy of the Sri Lankan team has been handed over to Charith Aslanka. Angelo Mathews has been left out of the team.
The Sri Lankan team has been announced for the three-match T20I series against India. Changes have been seen in the Sri Lankan team in the 16-member squad. Charith Asalanka has been given the command of the team. Charith was Wanindu Hasaranga's deputy in the T20 World Cup 2024 and now he has been given this big responsibility.
It is believed that Wanindu Hasaranga was stripped of the captaincy after Sri Lanka's early exit from the T20 World Cup. Apart from this, a senior player has also been dropped from the Sri Lankan squad. Let's take a look at Sri Lanka's squad for the T20I series against India.
Charith Asalanka will be seen captaining the three-match T20 series against India. Asalanka recently captained the Jaffna Kings and won them the Lanka Premier League title. Given his excellent captaincy in the Lanka Premier League, he has been given this big responsibility for the three-match T20 series against India.
The captaincy responsibility was taken away from Wanindu Hasaranga. 21-year-old all-rounder Chamindu Vikramasingha has received a maiden call for T20 for the first time. At the same time, Kusal Perera and Avishka Fernando, who missed out on the Sri Lankan squad for the T20 World Cup, have got a place in the team.
Senior all-rounder Angelo Mathews has not found a place in the team for the T20 series against India. Fast bowler Dilshan Madhushanka has been included in the team who has recently recovered from injury.
Charith Asalanka (captain), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Janith Perera, Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Kamindu Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Mahesh Theekshana, Chamindu Wickramasinghe, Mathisha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara, Dushmantha Chameera, Binura Fernando.
