Sri Lanka Cricket has decided to send 3 additional players to Australia to remain as backups in the event the national T20I team taking part in the World Cup needs any replacements.

Accordingly, Niroshan Dickwella (WK-Batsman), Asitha Fernando, and Matheesa Pathirana (Fast Bowlers) will be sent along with Tim McCaskill, Head of the High Performance Center of the SLC.

The trio will train under the supervision of McCaskill and will be based in Melbourne, and will join the national team only if a requirement arises.

They will leave for Australia tonight.
