Sri Lanka, the 1996 World Cup champions, is another side that depends largely on their spinners. It might be too much to expect of the rising phenom Matheesha Pathirana to head the Sri Lankan pace attack, despite the fact that he just had a stellar IPL 2023 season in which he enabled the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) claim their sixth championship.
The absence of Matheesha Pathirana and Wanindu Hasaranga has come at the most unfortunate time possible. Dunith Wellalage, the young spin all-rounder will be Sri Lanka’s hope for wickets on turning tracks this time around.
