Sri Lanka on Wednesday added fast bowlers Asitha Fernando, Matheesha Pathirana and wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella as back-up players to their Men's T20 World Cup squad in Australia following a series of injuries to their players.

The trio has been called to remain as backups if the need arises for them to replace players in their main squad. Tim McCaskill, head of Sri Lanka Cricket's high-performance center, will also travel to Australia with the players.
