With depth and variety across the attack, Sri Lanka’s bowlers will be keen to make a strong statement on the global stage. For captain Dasun Shanaka, the tournament represents a chance to redefine his leadership record. A squad built around all-rounders and bowling depth suited to their home conditions can be complimentary to Shanaka's style of captaincy.

Sri Lanka will also see the tournament as an opportunity to re-establish themselves on the global stage. A strong showing on home soil could signal a shift from being occasional disruptors to consistent contenders in ICC events. Beyond immediate results, success would help restore confidence, rebuild belief within the group, and offer a reminder of the standards that once defined Sri Lankan cricket during its most successful era.
