Sri Lanka has announced their squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, hosted jointly by the USA and West Indies. The team finds itself in Group D alongside South Africa, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and Nepal. Their campaign kicks off on June 3 with a high-stakes match against South Africa in New York.

Wanindu Hasaranga has been entrusted with leading the side as captain, with Charith Asalanka named vice-captain. Kusal Mendis, doubling as the team’s wicket-keeper, is expected to play a crucial role with the bat. The inclusion of veteran Angelo Mathews has raised some eyebrows due to his recent lack of form, but the selectors believe his vast experience will be invaluable on the global stage.
