Sri Lanka has announced the team for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 1. In the year 2014, the Sri Lankan team captured the T20 World Cup title.

Apart from this, the team will also have high expectations from players like Mathisha Pathirana and Mahish Teekshna. Both these players are performing brilliantly while playing for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL.
Charith Asalanka has been appointed as the vice-captain of the team. Apart from this, Dasun Shanaka has also been given a place in the team.
