Overview

The Sri Lanka squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 presents a set of seasoned campaigners and exciting new talent, combining a proven ability to think strategically with dynamic gameplay. Leading the squad is Wanindu Hasaranga, whose capacity to leg-spin and robust batting at crucial lower-order spots will be crucial to the team’s prospects.

As the leg spinner was set to play the IPL prior to the World Cup before pulling out as a consequence of a heel injury, his leadership will be crucial. Another veteran entering the fray is Angelo Mathews, who offers a well of experience, having previously competed in the T20 World Cup, including Sri Lanka’s triumph in 2014. Mathews has been given an opportunity in the squad after three years out of T20I to ensure the squad has the necessary experience to outperform its youthful competition. He will also be supported by Dasun Shanaka and Kusal Mendis, both of whom have previous captaincy experience in limited-overs competitions.

Shanaka’s all-round abilities and Mendis’s capacity to play keeper-batsman highlight the multi-dimensional impact of the squad. Young talents Pathum Nissanka and Kamindu Mendis are set to have a crucial influence. Nissanka is at the top of the order and Kamindu’s all-round abilities are made to balance the team. Another experienced all-rounder, Dhananjaya de Silva, adds tactical depth to the squad, offering both batting strength and off-spin alternatives.

On the bowling side, Maheesh Theekshana’s potential as a spinner combines with veteran Dushmantha Chameera’s pace. The pace department is further supported by Nuwan Thushara and Matheesh Pathirana, who have unique bowling actions that could unsettle opposition plans. Prior to the World Cup, the squad is set to face Pakistan in a series, allowing them to establish and evaluate strategic combinations and match-match strategies for the conditions in the USA and the Caribbean. The squad blends a mixture of aggressive and strategic cricket with a plan to approach the grounds in the USA and the Caribbean, using all the skills at their disposal. Sri Lanka will reintroduce itself to competition with a match against South Africa, the first-ever T20 World Cup game on June 3, 2024, in New York.
