In this announced roster, Dasun Shanaka has been designated as the captain for the prestigious tournament, with Kusal Mendis taking on the role of vice-captain.
Unfortunately, the star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has been excluded from the squad due to an injury he sustained during the recently concluded Lankan Premier League.

Wanindu Hasaranga had played a pivotal role in the June and July World Cup Qualifiers, which helped Sri Lanka secure their spot in the main event in India with a victory.
