Madushanka back, Wickramasinghe receives maiden ODI call-up

Sri Lanka Cricket selectors on October 18 (Friday) named a 16-member squad for the three-match ODI series against West Indies, beginning October 20 with the first match at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy. 

Dilshan Madushanka, who rose to prominence after a great showing in the ODI World Cup 2023, is finally back in the Sri Lanka squad for ODIs, having last featured in an ODI in March 2024 against Bangladesh. 

All-rounder Chamindu Wickramasinghe, who made his T20I debut against India in a series in July this year, has received his maiden ODI call-up as well. Wanindu Hasaranga has also made his comeback into the ODIs, having missed the last two ODIs against India in the three-match series in July due to an injury. 

Sri Lanka have already won the T20I series 2-1 against the visitors West Indies. With a Test series win against New Zealand, they would now be looking to complete a triplet of series wins across formats. 

Sri Lanka Squad for ODI series: Charith Asalanka (c), Avishka Fernando, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis, Janith Liyanage, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Nishan Madushka, Dunith Wellalage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, Jeffrey Vandersay, Chamidu Wickramasinghe, Asitha Fernando, Dilshan Madushanka, Mohamed Shiraz
