Sri Lanka Women announce squad for 2026 T20 Asia Cup

Sri Lanka has announced its 15-member squad for the 2026 Women’s T20 Asia Cup, which will be held at the Dubai International Stadium from August 28 to September 13. The defending champions will compete in Group B alongside Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates.

Chamari Athapaththu will continue to lead the team as captain, with Harshitha Samarawickrama serving as vice-captain. Notable selections include the return of fast bowler Mithali Ayodhya, who was a key performer during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, and the inclusion of Chethana Vimukthi to bolster the seam attack.

Additionally, 19-year-old leg-spin all-rounder Dewmi Vihanga has earned her maiden T20I call-up following strong domestic performances. The squad also features young talent Sanjana Kavindi and Imesha Dulani, the latter of whom recently became the second Sri Lankan woman to score a T20I century.
