Sri Lanka Cricket has unveiled the women’s National team contracts for the period between 01st Jan 2015 - 31st Dec 2015.

Sri Lanka Cricket says that on the recommendation of the National Selectors, the Executive Committee approved the submission of all National Contracted Players for the forthcoming IPL Auction.

The chief executive of cricket’s governing body believes it will be tough for anyone outside the game to fix matches during next month’s 50-over World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Sri Lanka's three senior batsmen hit 214 runs between them, dominating the early and middle overs, but scant support from the middle order ensured that only a par score of 276 was achieved, when a total in excess of 300 had looked likely for much of the innings.

Paceman Dushmantha Chameera and Leg-Spinner Seekkuge Prasanna have been called into the Sri Lankan ODI side to replace an injured Nuwan Pradeep in the ongoing ODI series against New-Zealand.
