The complete player list and squad details for Sri Lanka’s 2024 T20 World Cup squad

With a team full of skill and experience, Sri Lanka is getting ready for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024. Wanindu Hasaranga is leading the way; he assumed the T20I captaincy role in December of last year. With Charith Asalanka as his deputy, the middle order gains depth and a strong leadership team is promised.

Experienced player Angelo Mathews rejoins the T20 World Cup team after almost three years away. Matthews provides a plethora of experience to the team, having played in five prior appearances and been a part of Sri Lanka’s 2014 campaign that ended in victory.

With players like Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Sadeera Samarawickrama bringing energy to the team, the Sri Lankan roster is a blend of youth and experience. The leadership skills that team members like Dasun Shanaka, Dhananjaya de Silva, and Kusal Mendis bring to the table further strengthen the group’s resolve.

Sri Lanka’s roster for the 2024 T20 World Cup includes Matheesha Pathirana.
Sri Lanka’s team selection clearly reflects an emphasis on balance, with a number of all-around alternatives. All-around spin bowlers like Hasaranga, Wellalage, de Silva, and Kamindu Mendis offer versatility, while Mathews and Shanaka are solid speed bowlers.

Alongside spearheads Dushmantha Chameera and Dilshan Madushanka, pacers Matheesha Pathirana and Nuwan Thushara add excitement to the pace attack with their unconventional bowling techniques.

South Africa, Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and Nepal will be fierce rivals of Sri Lanka in Group D. On June 3, they will play South Africa in New York to begin their campaign. Sri Lanka has added depth and versatility to its lineup by selecting Asitha Fernando, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Janith Liyanage as travelling reserves in addition to their core group.

As nations finalize their squads by May 25, Sri Lanka appears prepared for a competitive showing in the T20 World Cup thanks to a combination of skill, experience, and strategic acumen.
