Wicket-keeper Batter Niroshan Dickwella, Fast Bowlers Asitha Fernando and Matheesha Pathirana set to join Sri Lanka squad as stand-by players for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.
Sri Lankan selectors have decided to add three more reserves to the Sri Lanka T20 World Cup squad, as five of their players have suffered injuries during the tournament.

The speedsters Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madushanka and Batter Danishka Gunathilaka have already been ruled out of the tournament due to injuries, while Pathum Nissanka and Pramod Madushan remain with the squad, recovering from their injuries.
As a result, Dickwella, Fernando and Pathirana will leave for Australia as cover for the injured players along with Tim McCaskill, the Head of High Performance at Sri Lanka Cricket. They are expected to train separately in Sydney and will be drafted into the squad if required.
