Sri Lanka have announced their squad for World cup. Sri Lanka’s big players will miss this world cup but we can’t put them out of competition because recently they played the final of Asia cup. Asia cup was good for Sri Lanka as they knocked out Pakistan in a pressure game.
Squad:
Dasun Shanaka(C)
Kushal Peerera
Charith Assalanka
Pathum Nissanka
Pathirana
Mahesh theekshana
Dilshan Madhusanka
Dinuth Wellalage
Kasun Rajitha
Sadeera Samarwickrama

Lahiru Kumara
Dimuth Karunarathne
Kushal Mendis

Chamika Karunarathne
This world cup squad will play in India. It has some big names like Kushal Mendis, Dasun shanaka amd Mahesh Theeshana. But some big players are missing this world cup because of injuries.
Wanindu Hassaranga and Dushmantha Chameera will miss this world cup because of injuries.
Wanindu Hassaranga is a big loss to Sri Lanka. Wanindu Hassaranga is such a spinner who can totally change the game. He come in middle overs and destroys the opponent team’s middle order. He is economical too. In T20 cricket he is also in Top 5 rankings.
Indian pitches also help the spinners so Sri Lanka team will surely miss Hassaranga. Some pitches in India such as on Chennai pitch Hassaranga can be very valuable.
A pacer like Dushamntha Chameera who bowls with 140+ kph consistently is very valuable with the new ball. Even in the death overs Chameera is very useful. So it’s a big loss to Sri Lanka team that they are playing this World cup without two main players Hassaranga and Chameera.
