Sri Lanka Unveils Dasun Shanaka-Led T20 World Cup 2026 Squad

• Sri Lanka announced its 15-member squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, led by all-rounder Dasun Shanaka.
• The squad includes experienced white-ball players like Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, and Charith Asalanka.
• All-round depth is a key strength, with Wanindu Hasaranga, Kamindu Mendis, and Dunith Wellalage contributing with both bat and ball.
• Test captain Dhananjaya de Silva was dropped due to poor form, scoring only 43 runs and taking one wicket in three innings since his recall.
• Seam bowler Eshan Malinga is included despite a recent shoulder injury; Sri Lanka previously won the T20 World Cup in 2014.

Why It Matters: Sri Lanka announced a strong, experienced squad for the T20 World Cup 2026 under Dasun Shanaka's captaincy.
