On Wednesday, February 1, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced a strong 15-player squad of the Sri Lanka Women’s National Cricket Team for the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, which is scheduled to be held in South Africa.

The Sri Lanka Women’s squad for the World Cup, which is all set to be led by regular captain and star batter Chamari Athapaththu, features all the notable names except Hasini Perera.

Hasini Perera will not be available for selection as she has been ruled out of the tournament due to a finger injury. SLC has named Sathya Sandeepani as a replacement for Hasini Perera in the squad.

“The Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Committee selected the following Sri Lanka Women’s Squad to take part in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, which will be held in South Africa. #T20WorldCup,” Sri Lanka Cricket tweeted on Wednesday, February 1.
