Sri Lanka has announced its 16 -member team before the ODI series against Bangladesh in July.

She has taken only 17 wickets in 12 matches so far and the economy rate has been 7.27.
In the top order, the team has retained reliable names like Pathum Nisanka, Avidka Fernando and Kushal Mendis. Interestingly, Kushal Mendis suffered a shoulder injury in the Colombo Test, but the team management hopes that they will fit before the ODI. Young batsman Nishan Madushka, who recently put three fifty in four matches, has also been included in the team. At the same time, Sadira Samarvikrama and Kamindu Mendis have got a chance in the middle order.
Talking about all -rounders, Janith Liange has returned, while the spin department will be commanded by Vanindu Hasranga. They will get the support of Mahish Toricha and Jeffrey Vanders.
