Read full biographyClose biography

Origin (Late 1980s–1996) Women’s cricket in Sri Lanka began gaining formal traction in the late 1980s, largely driven by the enthusiasm of local clubs and schools. The foundation solidified with the formation of the Women’s Cricket Association of Sri Lanka (WCASL) in 1996. First Match Played (1997) Sri Lanka made its international cricket debut by hosting a three-match ODI series against the Netherlands. Their first-ever official international match was played on November 25, 1997, at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo. Under the captaincy of Vanessa Bowen, Sri Lanka lost the tightly contested encounter by just 10 runs, but went on to win the remaining matches to claim their historic first-ever series victory. They played their first-ever Test match the following year, defeating Pakistan in April 1998. Performance in ICC Tournaments Sri Lanka made its maiden appearance at the Women’s Cricket World Cup in 1997, finishing a commendable fifth out of 11 teams. Their historic high point came at the 2013 World Cup, where they pulled off massive upsets by defeating heavyweight nations England and India. Moreover, Sri Lanka has been a consistent participant in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup since the inaugural tournament in 2009. While they frequently challenged top-tier nations, they historically struggled to advance past the group stage into the semi-finals. The team has a proud history in the Women’s Asia Cup, finishing as runners-up in the first four editions of the tournament (2004, 2005–06, 2006, 2008), establishing themselves early on as a major regional force. Notably, in 2024, Sri Lanka claimed its maiden Women's Asia Cup championship in sensational fashion. They defeated a formidable Indian side in a historic tournament-winning victory under the captaincy of Chamari Athapaththu. Present Today, Sri Lanka women’s cricket is undergoing an exciting resurgence, emerging from the shadows of the traditional powerhouses.
