Sri Lanka announces their squad for the World Cup 2023 today
Sri Lanka’s announcement of their 15-member squad for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 comes with significant news, as they will be without their star spinner, Wanindu Hasaranga. This development is indeed a major blow to the Sri Lankan cricket team. Hasaranga, who had been in remarkable form recently, sustained a grade three hamstring tear, ruling him out of the World Cup. His absence leaves a notable void in the squad, as he had not only been a prolific wicket-taker but also contributed significantly with the bat. This setback places added responsibility on the rest of the squad to step up and fill the gap left by Hasaranga, as Sri Lanka prepares to compete on the world stage.
Sri Lanka’s squad for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, under the leadership of captain Dasun Shanaka, strikes a balance between youth and experience. The team’s aspirations for success in the tournament hinge on this blend, combining the dynamic captaincy of Shanaka with the seasoned expertise of senior players such as Kusal Mendis, Dimuth Karunaratna, and Dhananjaya de Silva. Additionally, the squad features promising young talents like Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, and Dunith Wellalage, who have already showcased their potential on the international stage. As they embark on this prestigious journey, Sri Lanka will look to harness the collective strength and capabilities of this diverse squad to overcome the challenges that lie ahead in the World Cup.
Sri Lanka will play two pre-World Cup warm-up games against Bangladesh on September 29 and Afghanistan on October 2. They will commence their tournament against South Africa on October 7 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Sri Lanka Squad: Dasun Shanaka (c), Kusal Mendis (vc), Kusal Perera, Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dushan Hemantha, Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage, Kasun Rajitha, Matheesha Pathirana, Lahiru Kumara, Dilshan Madushanka
