Sri Lanka Rugby (SLR) named a long list of a squad to train ahead of national XV’s and 7’s fixtures. Forty-one (41) have been named in the sevens squad and eighty two (82) for the XVs.

The Tuskers will play in the Borneo 7s on 17th & 18th March and the world rugby sevens series qualifiers from 7th – 9th April in Hong Kong.

The XV’s team to play from 14th to 20th May in the Asia rugby division one championship in Malaysia.

Kandy center and the highest try scorer in the concluded Dialog Rugby League, Danushka Ranjan is likely to continue his captaincy with the sevens team, where Sri Lanka finished 2nd in Asia in the last year’s tournament.

Sudarshana Muthuthantri captained the XV’s last year, however, there is a likelihood that the league champion Kandy’s captain Roshan Weerarathne would lead the XV’s this year. The national selectors will name this in few weeks’ time.
