Hasaranga’s absence from the World Cup has put Sri Lanka in a difficult situation. Leg spinners are great for lower-order batters when you have the ball in your hand. While Sri Lanka did not name a replacement for the all-rounder in the Asia Cup, the SLC officials have to name one in the World Cup.
Squad:
Dasun Shanaka (Captain), Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Dunith Wellalage, Matheesha Pathirana, Kasun Rajitha, Pramod Madushan, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara
As for now, the SLC selectors are pondering over adding two standby players, Dushan Hemantha, the right-arm leg spinner, and bowling all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne for the World Cup.
