Cricket World Cup 2023: Sri Lanka's Squad, Match Schedule, Top Performers
Hit by injuries to crucial players, Sri Lanka will make yet another attempt to end the "curse" and win the ICC Cricket World Cup for the first time since 1996. Eighth in the ODI rankings, Sri Lanka warmed up for the tournament with a 10-wicket humiliation at the hands of India in the Asia Cup final. Sri Lanka were bowled out for 51 with India pacer Mohammed Siraj picking up six wickets in a sever-over spell. Bowling all-rounder Wanidu Hasaranga is still recovering from injury and was not included in the squad but could still play in the tournament if his condition improves, the board said.
