The three-member National Cricket Selection Committee, led by Chairman Pramodya Wickramasinghe and including Hemantha Wickramaratne and Romesh Kaluwitharana, is set to make a crucial decision today.

Under the supervision of Cricket Committee Head Mahela Jayawardena, they will finalize the 15-member squad that will represent Sri Lanka in the upcoming Cricket World Cup 2023.

A significant point of discussion during this selection process will be the team's captaincy. The performance of the current captain, Dasun Shanaka, has been less than stellar, prompting growing calls for his removal from the team's leadership role.

However, the prospect of replacing the captain just before such an important tournament presents a formidable challenge and a substantial gamble for Sri Lanka. The decision made by the selection committee could have far-reaching implications for the team's performance in the World Cup.
