Uncapped Udara, Dinusha Included In Sri Lanka Test Series Squad Against Australia
ICC World Test Championship: Sri Lanka has announced an 18-member squad to face Australia in the upcoming Warne-Murali Test Series, scheduled to kick off on January 29 in Galle. The two-match Test series will also serve as the final series of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle. This series offers Sri Lanka a chance to climb the WTC standings, while Australia, already assured of a place in the WTC Final, will look to maintain their dominance.
The Sri Lankan selectors have named a robust 18-man squad, with Dhananjaya de Silva leading the side. Key players Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis, and Dhananjaya de Silva himself were under injury clouds but have been included, signalling their importance in the team’s strategy.
While Nissanka’s recurring groin injury may limit his participation, the inclusion of uncapped players Lahiru Udara and Sonal Dinusha ensures the team has adequate cover. The squad boasts a blend of experienced campaigners like Angelo Mathews, Dimuth Karunaratne, and Dinesh Chandimal, alongside emerging talents such as Kamindu Mendis and Milan Rathnayake.
