Chamari Athapaththu To Captain 15-Player Sri Lanka Squad For ODI Series Against New Zealand

By IANS News June 24, 2023 • 15:59 PM View: 1621

Veteran opener Chamari Athapaththu has been named as captain for Sri Lanka women's three-game ODI series against New Zealand that starts later this month in Galle.

The Sri Lanka squad features a bevy of quality spinners who are expected to thrive in home conditions against the New Zealand squad touring the country for the first time. Experienced spin trio of Inoka Ranaweera, Sugandika Kumari and Oshadi Ranasinghe are retained, so as the likes of Inoshi Fernando, Kavisha Dilhari and Chamari herself as other slow bowling options.
