COLOMBO: Sri Lanka have announced a 16-member squad for the upcoming T20I series against India, scheduled to begin on July 27 in Kandy, led by Charith Asalanka.
Asalanka replaced Waninda Hasaranga after the all-rounder stepped down as captain after Sri Lanka suffered a group-stage exit from the 2024 T20 World Cup, which was won by India.
Sri Lanka will play three T20Is and as many ODIs against India. While Asalanka will lead the team in the shorter format, Kusal Mendis will lead the Islanders in ODIs.
Dhananjaya de Silva, who is the Test captain, and veteran Angelo Mathews were not included in the 16-man T20 squad.
