Sri Lanka's team has been announced for T20 Asia Cup 2025. The board has selected a 16-member team, which also includes injured all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga. The captain of this team is Charit Asalanka. The team will play its first match on 13 September.

Sri Lanka Cricket Board has announced the team for T20 Asia Cup 2025. The 16-member team has been selected by the Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Panel. The captain of this team is Charit Asalanka. Wanindu Hasaranga, who is suffering from a hamstring injury, has also been included in the team, but his further playing will be discussed on the basis of fitness. Sri Lanka's team was the last winner of the Asia Cup held in T20 format. In such a situation, Sri Lanka's team should be seen as the champion team of this tournament.

Strong all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga's participation in the Asia Cup will also depend on his fitness. Hasaranga suffered a hamstring injury during the T20 series against Bangladesh in July. He has not yet fully recovered from this injury. Among the experienced batsmen are Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera, who will think about making the captain's job easier. The Sri Lankan team also includes impressive all-rounders like Dasun Shanaka, Kamindu Mendis, Dunith Welalage and captain Charit Asalanka himself.

In bowling, Chamika Karunaratne, Kamil Mishara and Nuwanidu Fernando are expected to play an important role for Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup. Apart from these, fast bowlers like Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Tushara and Mathisha Pathirana are an important part of the pace unit of the Sri Lankan team. Sri Lanka's team is in Group B in Asia Cup 2025 with Bangladesh, Hong Kong and Afghanistan. The first match is to be played by Sri Lanka against Bangladesh, which will be played on 13 September at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. After this, there is a match with Hong Kong on 15th and Afghanistan on 18th.

Sri Lanka's team is as follows

Charith Aslanka (Captain), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera, Nuwanidu Fernando, Kamindu Mendis, Kamil Mishara, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Chamika Karunaratne, Maheesh Theekshana, Dushmantha Chameera, Binura Fernando, Nuwan Thushara and Mathisha Pathirana
