The National Cricket Selection Committee has announced a 15-member Sri Lanka Women’s squad for the upcoming ODI series against Pakistan Women.
Led by captain Chamari Athapaththu, the squad largely retains the core group of players who featured in Sri Lanka’s recent ODI series victory over Bangladesh, where they secured a 2-1 triumph.
Among the notable inclusions are opening batter Vishmi Gunaratne and wicket-keeper batter Anushka Sanjeewani, both of whom return to the national setup after missing the Bangladesh ODI series.

Meanwhile, experienced left-arm spinner Sugandika Kumari and wicket-keeper batter Kaushani Nuthyangana have not been included in the squad for the Pakistan series.
The three-match ODI series will be part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2025–2029 cycle, with valuable championship points up for grabs for both teams.
All three matches will be played at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium in Hambantota. The series is scheduled to commence on 23 July, with the remaining fixtures set for 25 and 28 July 2026.
