Sri Lanka Cricket named two uncapped players in the final 15-man squad for the upcoming World T20 to be played next month.

Promising youngster Dilshan Munaweera and 18 year-old spinner Akila Dananjaya were included in the squad that does not include repeated failure Chamara Kapugedera, who was tipped to get a place in the squad despite his recent poor form.
