However, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands failed to qualify for the upcoming Trophy.
Adding to Sri Lanka’s woes, the team is currently under suspension by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The suspension was enforced following a meeting where the ICC Board determined that Sri Lanka Cricket is in serious breach of its obligations as an ICC member.
The Sri Lankan cricket team faced a setback in their bid for qualification to the 2025 Champions Trophy following Bangladesh’s defeat against Australia in the 43rd match of the ICC World Cup 2023 in Pune, India, on Saturday.
Led by Kusal Mendis, the Sri Lankan unit endured a challenging World Cup campaign, securing only two wins out of nine matches and grappling with several off-the-field issues.
Sri Lanka concluded their World Cup journey in the ninth position on the points table, amassing four points and a negative net run rate (NRR) of -1.419, having won only two matches out of nine.
