Sri Lanka will be touring to India for a brief white ball series that includes 3 ODI and 3 T20Is. This will be the first assignment for both India and Sri Lanka in the year 2023. Sri Lanka surprised everyone after winning the Asia Cup against all odds, it just shows that Sri Lanka are an unpredictable side with lot of potentials that could surprise any strong team on their day.
IND vs SL: SL name a strong 20 men squad
Sri Lanka have clearly given a lot of importance for the performers of the recently concluded Lanka Premier League. The likes of Sadeera Samarawickrama and Avishka Fernando have found themselves in the 20 men squad at the back of some extraordinary outings in the LPL.
They have also recalled Chamika Karunaratne who was dropped on the grounds of disciplinary issues in their previous series against Afghanistan. The usual suspects like Maheesh Theekshana and Wanindu Hasaranga will be the leader of the spin attack for them while Dunith Wellallage has found himself to be a regular member in the white ball squad in the recent past. He is an excellent potential with both bat and ball and Sri Lanka would want their U19 captain to make it big at this level.
Their pace spearhead Dushmantha Chameera is yet to recover from injury and has been left out. Dilshan Madushanka will lead the pace attack for Sri Lanka who was mighty impressive in the WT20 and in the Asia Cup before that.
