Sri Lanka spinner Maheesh Theekshana feels that Sri Lanka have most of their bases covered in the bowling department for ICC World Cup 2023. This is the reason why Maheesh Theekshana also feels that Sri Lanka have a very good chance to win the trophy.
ICC World Cup 2023 takes place in India from October 5. Sri Lanka are also part of the tournament, which will witness a battle among 10 teams. Since the tournament takes place in India, Sri Lanka will be a powerful team with their spin attack on spin-friendly Indian conditions.
However, most of the fans and cricket experts do not consider Sri Lanka as one of the favorites to win the ICC World Cup 2023. Sri Lanka did not get a direct qualification for the tournament. They won the final of World Cup qualifiers to earn a berth in the tournament.
We Have Most Of Our Bases Covered In Bowling Department: Maheesh Theekshana
