Sri Lanka name strong squad for India, South Africa tri-nation series

The hosts are coming into the series on the back of a 2-0 ODI series loss in New Zealand. Sri Lanka have announced a 17-member squad for their upcoming tri-nation series against India and South Africa at home.

The Chamari Athapaththu-led squad have made a host of changes to their playing group that was defeated by New Zealand recently.

Among other changes, the likes of Vishmi Gunaratne, Nilakshi Silva, Hasini Perera, Piumi Wathsala, Dewmi Vihanga, Inoka Ranaweera and Hansima Karunaratne are back in the fray.

The tri-nation series, kickstarting April 27 in Colombo, will offer vital preparation to all three sides with the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 in India on the horizon. (Text: ICC)
