DHAKA: Sri Lanka on Monday named uncapped 20-year-old medium-pace all-rounder Sathya Sandeepani in their 15-member squad for the upcoming Women's World T20, set to be played in Australia in February-March 2019.
The squad will be led by Chamari Atapattu and also includes other senior players like Shashikala Siriwardene, Udeshika Probodhani and Sugandika Kumari. However, some of the other senior players like Inoka Ranaweera and Oshadi Ranasinghe do not find a place in the side.
Sri Lanka had last toured Australia in September-October 2019, where they lost all their matches - three T20Is and three one-dayers. They won't be playing any more international fixtures ahead of the world cup, and will get a chance to play four-warm up games before the tournament starts - against New Zealand, Australia, India and Bangladesh.
Squad: Chamari Atapattu (C), Harshitha Madavi, Anushka Sanjeewani, Hansima Karunaratne, Shashikala Siriwardene, Nilakshi De Silva, Ama Kanchana, Kavisha Dilhari, Udeshika Probodhani, Achini Kulasuriya, Hasini Perera, Sathya Sandeepani, Umesha Thimashini, Sugandika Kumari, Dilani Manodara.
