New Delhi: Defending Asian Cup winners, Sri Lanka have announced their squad for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. The squad largely remains the same which featured against India in the Women’s Asia Cup Finals. Sri Lanka defeated the women in Blue on that occasion to clinch their maiden Asia Cup win.
Sri Lanka had also been unbeaten in their ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024. Now, under the leadership of Chamari Athapaththu, the Lankans are ready to roar again on the biggest stage of T20 cricket. Athapaththu was instrumental in Sri Lanka’s win over India at the Asia Cup 2024. However, Sri Lanka has added another potent threat to their ranks in the form of Inoka Ranaweera.
Sri Lanka is placed in Group A of the competition along with Australia, India, New Zealand, and Pakistan and begin their campaign on 3 October, against Pakistan.
