COLOMBO: Dasun Shanaka will lead a 15-member Sri Lankan squad for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2021 to be held in the UAE and Oman in October-November this year.
Sri Lanka will begin their campaign on October 18 against Namibia in Abu Dhabi in Group A of the First Round, where they have also drawn Ireland and the Netherlands.
The only major omissions from the squad were Niroshan Dickwella, Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka, who were banned for a year for breaking the Covid-19 protocols on their tour of England in July. With Kusal Perera's return after an injury, Minod Bhanuka, who was keeping the wickets in Perera's absence, also misses out. IANS
