Sri Lanka U19 Skipper Dunith Wellalage has been named in the Jaffna Squad for the ongoing Dialog-SLC National Super League 2022.
Dunith, who is the talk of the town following his tremendous performances in the ICC U19 World Cup 2022, has previously represented Lankan CC in Sri Lanka’s domestic competitions. Therefore, the wily all-rounder is very eligible to represent the Jaffna team as Lankan CC comes under that cluster.
He joined the Jaffna team in Kandy today (11), and will be available for selection for their next game against Galle on Sunday.
Wellalage was also a part of Lankan CC’s U23 team, which won the emerging competition last year. His inclusion will be immensely helpful for the Kandy team who is in a tricky situation in the tournament with a place in the finals still up for grabs.
Jaffna has two more games left in the league stage and stand in the second position in the table.
