The expert group of Udeshika Prabodhani, Achini Kulasuriya and Anushka Sanjeewani have been restored to Sri Lanka's T20 crew, having been rested for the new collection against the West Indies, as Sri Lanka named their 15-member club for the upcoming Women's Asia Cup.

The clean pair of Rashmika Sewwandi and Imesha Dulani- the original yet to render her debut- understandably make way, while there's also no room for the veteran spinner Oshadi Ranasinghe, who had just returned to the T20 side following a nine-month absence, and wicketkeeper-batter Kaushini Nuthyangana.

This, nevertheless, remains a club with a good mix of children and experience. The highly-rated left-arm wrist spin Shashini Gimhani is the youngest part, turning 16 simply later this month. But while she's still to play a state in the starting XI, 18-year-old Vishmi Gunaratne has previously locked down an entry berth alongside captain Chamari Athapaththu.

Kavisha Dilhari, Kawya Kavindi, and Sachini Nisansala, all under the age of 25, are the additions of three more under the period of 25, with the latter's impressive performance against the West Indies holding her place in the club.

That's the prospect and much of the current when it comes to this Sri Lankan dress, but there's also significant know-how across the rest of the club. Many of Sri Lanka's power rests in their bowling, led by the amazing Athapaththu, who has formed a fierce agreement at the top with Gunaratne. Wicketkeeper-batter Sanjeewani's addition strengthens the lower get alongside Nilakshi de Silva, but it's the endurance of a middle get containing Harshitha Samarawickrama, Hasini Perera and Kavisha Dilhari that has formed the backbone of Sri Lanka's new successes.

On the ball entry, this is a spin-heavy strike, with the former combination of Inoshi Priyadarshani and Sugandika Kumari supplemented by Nisansala, Gimhani, Dilhari and Athapaththu. The returning Prabodhani and Kulasuriya strong up Sri Lanka's speed options in a force that even includes Ama Kanchana and Kavindi.

Full squad: Chamari Athapaththu ( capt ), Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Hasini Perera, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodhani, Achini Kulasuriya, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Kawya Kavindi, Sachini Nisansala, Shashini Gimhani, Ama Kanchana
