Sri Lanka Cricket has become the most recent cricket organisation to reveal their 15-player team for the next ODI World Cup 2023, which is scheduled to be held in India, as the deadline for squad announcements and last-minute modifications approaches. The cricket-loving island country has assembled a strong team with the hopes of winning the World Cup.
The Sri Lankan team, led by top all-arounder Dasun Shanaka, is filled with promising young athletes. Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis, and Pathum Nissanka serve as the cornerstones of the batting order, and Matheesha Pathirana and Dunith Wellalage will lead the bowling attack with their pace and spin prowess, respectively.
The inclusion of young recruits who made an impression in the just-finished Asia Cup 2023, where the Sri Lankan team placed second, is what makes this Sri Lankan team intriguing. This influx of youngsters gives the team depth and enthusiasm, laying the groundwork for a thrilling campaign.
ODI World Cup 2023:
Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana, two of their most crucial spinners, are out of the squad due to injury. It is reasonable to assume that there is very little likelihood that these 2 players would participate in the important competition, which might have a significant effect on Sri Lanka’s success.
However, Sri Lanka is determined to make a name for themselves at the ODI World Cup 2023 thanks to their long history in cricket and the passion of its supporters. Since they are renowned for their amazing performance in prestigious competitions like the ODI World Cup, the cricketing world eagerly anticipates their performance.
The One Day International Cricket World Championship is known as the Cricket World Cup, or ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. The International Cricket Council, the organisation in charge of overseeing the sport, organises the event every four years, with preliminary qualification rounds preceding a finals competition.
