Ashen Bandara bats against Pakistan during the ICC U-19 World Cup match in 2018 in New ZealandThe 22-year-old middle-order bat from St. Aloysius’ College, Galle is highly likely to make his Sri Lanka debut, team sources in Antigua revealed to The Morning Sports yesterday (2). The first of a three-match T20I series between Sri Lanka and West Indies will begin at Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua tomorrow (4). A brilliant cover position fielder Bandara, who also bowls leg-break, is to lift Sri Lanka side’s fielding, the department the Lankans had not impressed with, in recent times across all three formats. Another possible inclusion in the final eleven could be Pathum Nissanka, an uncapped 22-year-old top-order batsman from Isipathana College, Colombo. Here is the probable Sri Lanka playing team in tomorrow’s first T20I against West Indies:1.
