Sri Lanka name Strong 16-member squad for Netball World Cup
Asian Champions Sri Lanka has named a strong 16-member squad for the upcoming Netball World Cup 2023 scheduled to begin in July in Cape Town, South Africa.
The squad includes some top names in netball circles, including Tharjini Sivalingam, Chathurangi Jayasooriya, Dulangi Wannithilake, Gayanjali Amarawansha and Semini Alwis to name a few.
A couple of new faces from the squad took part in the Asia Cup last year, with Gayathri Kawshalya, Shanika Perera, Chamudhi Wickramaratne, Rukshala Happuarachchi and Tisala Algama making the cut.
A notable exclusion is Hasitha Mendis.
After winning the 2022 Asian Championships, Sri Lanka will come into the World Cup with a lot of confidence but will need to show a great deal of resilience to pick themselves up after the pool stages and the impact of coming up against some of the world’s top teams.
Sri Lanka is slotted in Group ‘C’ along with Jamaica, host South Africa and Wales. The Asian Champions will kick off their campaign against Jamaica on 28 July followed by South Africa on the 29th and Wales on the 30th.
The islanders received a boost with the return of Thilaka Jinadasa as the head coach, and the World Cup will be her first assignment.

Chathurangi Jayasooriya, Gayani Dissanayaka, Bashini de Silva, Gayathri Kawshalya, Shanika Perera, Gayanjali Amarawansha, Dulangi Wannitilaka, Chamudhi Wickramaratne, Rukshala Happuarachchi, Tisala Algama, Semini Alwis, Imasha Perera, Tarushi Perera, Malmi Hettiarachchi, Rashmi Perera, Tharjini Sivalingam
