Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has announced a 16-member ODI squad for the upcoming tri-nation series against Pakistan and England. Kusal Mendis will lead the side, while Avishka Fernando and Sahan Arachchige have earned recalls. Pathum Nissanka has also been included, subject to medical clearance.
The ODI tri-series will be played from October 18 to 31 as part of the teams’ preparations for the 2027 ICC World Cup in Africa. Sri Lanka will play Pakistan and England twice in a double round-robin format before the top two teams meet in the final, with matches split between Rawalpindi and Lahore.
Avishka Fernando, Sahan Arachchige Earn Sri Lanka ODI Recalls
Avishka Fernando has returned to Sri Lanka’s ODI squad after an impressive domestic season. The batter last represented the country against Australia in February 2025. He scored 447 runs in seven domestic matches at an average of 63.85, including two centuries and a half-century.
Sahan Arachchige has also earned a recall after a two-year absence from the senior ODI side. The 30-year-old batting all-rounder made his ODI debut against the West Indies during the 2023 World Cup qualifiers and has regularly led Sri Lanka A.
