Dickwella, who last featured for Sri Lanka in March 2023, had captained Galle Marvels in LPL 2024. Although he had received a call-up for Sri Lanka's T20I series against Bangladesh earlier this year but didn't play a single match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After his selection, the selectors indicated that they had addressed Dickwella's poor disciplinary record with him. The left-handed batter has often found himself at the centre of controversy throughout his career, with his off-field behaviour frequently drawing criticism due to his inconsistent performance. He was notably one of the three players banned in 2021 for violating bio-bubble protocols, alongside Kusal Mendis and Danushka Gunathilake.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
