Lahiru Madhushanka, who was named in the original squad will not travel with the team as he is recovering from an injury. Reserve-keeper Minod Bhanuka and the two batsmen \u2013 Ramesh Mendis and Pathum Nissanka \u2013 were part of Sri Lanka\u2019s recent home series defeat to South Africa in August. They came away with underwhelming performances and were omitted from the initial squad. Ashen Bandara last played a month before at home in the series win against India, while Lakshan Sandakan\u2019s previous outing for the national side came in July in England. Neither made a big enough mark to be considered initially, but Sri Lanka have now added to their squad, which will have to play in the first round, starting on October 17, to make it to the Super 12s. The Dasun Shanka-led side will leave for Oman on October 3, and begin its campaign against Namibia on October 18. Sri Lanka squad: Dasun Shanaka (C), Dhananjaya De Silva, Kusal Janith Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, Avishka Fernando, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Charith Asalanka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kamindu Mendis, Chamika Karunaratne, Nuwan Pradeep, Dushmantha Chameera, Praveen Jayawickrema, Maheesh Theekshana, Minod Bhanuka, Ramesh Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, Lakshan Sandakan, Ashen Bandara Reserves: Lahiru Kumara, Binura Fernando, Akila Dananjaya, Pulina Tharanga (Daily Island, 3.10.2021)<\/span><\/p>\n
