NEW DELHI: After exiting the T20 World Cup this year at the group stage, Sri Lanka's T20I team has undergone significant changes, much like India's. With his recent success in helping the Jaffna Kings win the LPL 2024 title, Charith Asalanka, the team's new captain, led the team in two Twenty20 International matches against Bangladesh.
Sanath Jayasuriya takes over as head coach in an interim role following Chris Silverwood's departure. Following strong showings in the recently ended LPL 2024, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Perera, Avishka Fernando, and Binura Fernando are back.
