Ashen Bandara to make Sri Lanka debut?

[caption id="attachment_122492" align="alignleft" width="431"] Ashen Bandara bats against Pakistan during the ICC U-19 World Cup match in 2018 in New Zealand[/caption] The 22-year-old middle-order bat from St. Aloysius’ College, Galle is highly likely to make his Sri Lanka debut, team sources in Antigua revealed to The Morning Sports yesterday (2). The first of a three-match T20I series between Sri Lanka and West Indies will begin at Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua tomorrow (4). A brilliant cover position fielder Bandara, who also bowls leg-break, is to lift Sri Lanka side’s fielding, the department the Lankans had not impressed with, in recent times across all three formats. Another possible inclusion in the final eleven could be Pathum Nissanka, an uncapped 22-year-old top-order batsman from Isipathana College, Colombo. Sri Lanka will be somewhat depleted with the absence of their Skipper Dasun Shanaka, who is unable to reach Antigua owing to a visa problem, and pacie Lahiru Kumara, who got infected with Covid-19 days before the team departed to the West Indies. Shanaka is yet to receive his visa and is now planning reportedly to reach West Indies on a different route yet is unlikely to reach there even before 14 March, the day the third ODI is scheduled to be held. Antigua requires Covid-19 quarantine of three days too. Here is the probable Sri Lanka playing team in tomorrow’s first T20I against West Indies: 1. Angelo Mathews (Captain), 2. Danushka Gunathilaka, 3. Ashen Bandara, 4. Pathum Nissanka, 5. Dinesh Chandimal, 6. Niroshan Dickwella (wk), 7. Thisara Perera, 8. Wanindu Hasaranga, 9. Akila Dananjaya, 10. Nuwan Pradeep, 11. Lakshan Sandakan / Dushmantha Chameera
