Skipper Dasun Shanaka Backs Inexperienced Sri Lanka To Go 'Long Way' In T20 World Cup

By IANS News October 16, 2021 • 19:38 PM View: 2530

Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka has backed his team to go a 'long way' in the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, saying that his side has depth and variety, which could help them potentially to do well, even if they lack experience.

Sri Lanka begin their campaign on October 18 against Namibia in Abu Dhabi in Group A of the first round, where they have also drawn Ireland and the Netherlands. Drawing parallels to the vintage side that won the 2014 tournament, the Sri Lanka captain feels that his current side has the same potential.
