Asia Cup 2023: Ranking teams based on their final squad
Asian cricketing powerhouses have announced strong squads for Asia Cup 2023, with eyes set on ODI World Cup preparations. Let's look at their strength, and weaknesses and rate Asia Cup 2023 squads.
4. Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is yet to announce its Asia Cup 2023 squad given that they are facing issues of injuries to several of their first-choice players.
Till now fast bowlers Dushmantha Chameera and Lahiru Kumara have been ruled out of the tournament and star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga is also likely to miss a few initial matches of the tournament as he suffered from a thigh injury.
Chameera suffered from a shoulder injury just after he had recovered from ankle surgery and returned to action in the Lanka Premier League.
This means that the possible squad which will be led by Dasun Shanaka will be light in the bowling department with the likes of Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana, Kasun Rajitha and Pramod Madusan sharing the load.
The batting unit is expected to be a strong one, led by Dimuth Karunaratne and featuring Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, and Kusal Mendis. A lot however is still up in the air which puts them at 4th in this ranking of Asia Cup 2023 squads.
