It was noticeable that many newspapers had reported that only the Sri Lankan squad was not announced until the last moment. On further investigation, it was reported that the Sri Lanka Selection Committee forwarded the 20-man squad for the approval of the Sports Minister on August 12. But until yesterday (19) it had not received approval.

However, last night (19) at 9.51 on his Twitter account, the Minister of Sports stated that the relevant news was not correct and that he was referred to him for the approval of the squad yesterday (19). It was further stated in the Twitter message that approval was given within an hour of receiving the named squad.

Last night (19) 9.54 making another note, the minister announced the official squad for this year’s Asian Cup breaking the tradition.

However, Sri Lanka Cricket issued a statement in response to the minister’s announcement. The letter states that the Sri Lanka selection committee met on August 10 and named the squad for the Asian Cup and on August 12, the squad was sent to the Minister of Sports. The announcement further states that the letter indicating that Asitha Fernando and Pramod Madhushan were called up to the squad due to the injuries of two players in the named squad was arranged to be given to the minister on August 16.

Meanwhile, in an announcement on the afternoon of August 20, the Ministry of Sports said that the Sri Lanka Cricket Board was delayed in giving the approval for the squad due to the fact that the documents to be provided along with the player pool were not properly provided.

Under the leadership of Dasun Shanaka, the Sri Lanka squad for the Asia Cup consists of 08 batsmen, 05 fast bowlers, 03 spinners and 04 all-rounders.

Sri Lanka Women too strong for Bangladesh in second T20I

Published

By

Sri Lanka Women produced a polished all-round performance to defeat Bangladesh Women by 21 runs in the second T20I, sealing the series with a game to spare.

After being put into bat, the visitors posted a competitive 154 for 4 in their 20 overs, built on key contributions from skipper Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama. The innings began cautiously, with Hasini Perera falling early, but Athapaththu steadied the innings with a fluent 42 off 37 balls, striking six boundaries.

The momentum shifted significantly during the latter half as Samarawickrama played an aggressive knock of 49 off just 29 deliveries, including two sixes. She found good support from Imeesha Dulani (27) and Nilakshika Silva, who remained unbeaten on 22, ensuring Sri Lanka finished strongly at a healthy run rate of 7.70. Bangladesh’s bowlers shared the wickets, with Fariha Trisna, Sultana Khatun, Nahida Akter, and Ritu Moni picking up one apiece.

Chasing 155, Bangladesh made a steady start through Dilara Akter and Juairiya Ferdous, who added 46 for the opening wicket. However, regular breakthroughs and sharp fielding dented their progress. Ferdous scored a brisk 29, while Sharmin Akhter anchored the innings with an unbeaten 44, but lacked sufficient support from the middle order.

Sri Lanka’s discipline in the field proved decisive, effecting three crucial run-outs. Kavisha Dilhari was the standout with the ball, claiming 2 for 15 in her four overs, while Sugandika Kumari maintained excellent control, conceding just 14 runs.
Bangladesh eventually finished on 133 for 5, falling short despite a late push.
