Colombo, May 11 : Chamari Athapaththu will lead a 15-member Sri Lanka women’s cricket team squad on the tour of Pakistan beginning on May 19.
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) selection committee also named five standby players for the tour.
The two sides will first play three T20Is, followed by as many ODIs between May 24 and 5 June, in Karachi.
