Sri Lanka Cricket’s selection committee has chosen seven players for the 2026 Hong Kong Sixes, with 31-year-old Sangeeth Cooray appointed captain, ThePapare reports. The event uses six players per side and six-over matches.

The squad is Cooray, Mowin Subasingha, Vishen Halambage, Chamindu Wijesinghe, Sachitha Jayathilake, Ravindu Fernando and Muditha Lakshan. ThePapare reports that 26-year-old Subasingha represents BRC and was the top run-scorer in the recently concluded Major Club one-day competition. Fernando has represented Sri Lanka in T20 internationals.

The tournament is scheduled for October 30 to November 1 in Hong Kong. Daily Mirror identifies Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground in Kowloon as the venue, while ThePapare says the games will be at Mission Road in Mong Kok. Sri Lanka are in Group B with Bangladesh and Scotland, and are due to play those teams on October 30 and 31 respectively.

ThePapare reports that 12 teams will compete in four groups, with Cup, Plate and Bowl finals. Sri Lanka’s past results include titles in 2007 and 2024 and runner-up finishes in 1993 and 2004. The outlet also says the side won the Bowl competition last year, captained by Lahiru Madhushanka.
