Sri Lanka Include Ranaweera In Athapaththu-led Squad For Women’s T20 WC

By IANS News September 20, 2024 • 13:56 PM View: 459

T20 World Cup Qualifier: Left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera has been named in Sri Lanka's squad for the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup, to be captained by their talismanic all-rounder Chamari Athapaththu.

Inoka was left out of Sri Lanka's victorious Women’s Asia Cup campaign and their subsequent white-ball tour to Ireland. She last featured for Sri Lanka in T20Is in the Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024, which they won in the UAE.

In 82 T20I games for Sri Lanka, Inoka has picked 91 scalps at an economy rate of 5.86. She now joins a spin-heavy bowling lineup featuring Inoshi Priyadharshani, Sugandika Kumari, and Kavisha Dilhari, as well as Chamari’s off-spin.
