Sri Lanka enlist Dushmantha Chameera, Angelo Mathews as reserve players amid horrible performance in ODI World Cup 2023

The Sri Lankan team have displayed their worst performance so far in the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023 where they have lost their first 3 matches of the tournament. They are currently sitting at the bottom of the points table. Teams like Netherlands and Afghanistan have already opened their winning account but Sri Lanka are still hoping to get their first win.

Their performance in the ongoing tournament has left fans and experts disappointed, prompting a strategic move by the Sri Lankan Cricket Board. In an effort to revamp their squad and address their lacklustre performance, they have enlisted the talents of two seasoned players, Dushmantha Chameera and Angelo Mathews, as reserve players.

Dushmantha Chameera, known for his fiery pace and ability to take crucial wickets, has been a valuable asset for Sri Lanka in the past. Angelo Mathews, on the other hand, is a veteran all-rounder with a wealth of experience, and his inclusion could provide stability to the team’s batting and bowling line-up.

Will these inclusions turn Sri Lanka’s fortunes?

The decision to bring these two players on board as reserves is a clear signal that Sri Lanka is committed to improving its World Cup performance. While Chameera and Mathews may not be part of the starting eleven, their presence on the bench adds depth and experience to the squad. This move allows the team to have backup options in case of injuries or poor form among the current playing XI.

Sri Lanka’s fans are hopeful that these changes will inject fresh energy and determination into the team, as they look to salvage their World Cup campaign. The reserve players will be closely watched, and their potential inclusion in the starting lineup may hinge on their form and the team’s performance in the upcoming matches.
