Women’s T20 World Cup: Sri Lanka announce squad, including Ranaweera | Women’s Cricket World Cup News

Sri Lanka on Friday recalled left-handed spinner Inoka Ranaweera to their 15-member squad that will be led by inspirational captain Chamari Athapaththu for the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

Ranaweera, with over 12 years of international experience, last played for Sri Lanka in the 2024 Women’s World Cup qualifiers. The seasoned spinner is expected to thrive in the spin-friendly conditions in the UAE, adding depth to Sri Lanka’s bowling attack.
