Cricket teams

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is the ICC-listed senior men's international cricket team representing Sri Lanka, administered nationally by Sri Lanka Cricket. The team is represented in Test, ODI and T20I formats; this profile intentionally avoids treating a current squad, captaincy or selection as permanent.

Identity and directory scope

The International Cricket Council’s men’s teams directory lists Sri Lanka among the senior men’s international teams and links to a dedicated Sri Lanka team profile. That makes “Sri Lanka” the appropriate primary directory name here; no separate age-group, women’s or legends label is being folded into this record. The profile is an editorial identity entry, not a match-by-match statistical archive or an XI announcement.

Sri Lanka Cricket describes itself as the national sports body responsible for the country’s cricket and says it works from grassroots through international level. Its own history page records that the organisation was formally registered with the Ministry of Sports in 1975 and adopted the name Sri Lanka Cricket in 2003. Those statements support SLC as the relevant national administrator, without implying that every current selection decision is permanent.

Formats and competition context

The ICC Sri Lanka team profile presents separate rankings for Test, ODI and T20 cricket. For a sports-information directory, these are the useful established format markers: the team participates in the three principal senior international formats. This entry therefore describes a multi-format national side rather than attaching it to one tournament or assuming that a competition title indicates a current schedule, standings position or squad.

No current player list, captain, selection or live roster is included. Those details can change by tour, series and format, and the available team-page material is not sufficient reason to turn a time-sensitive selection into a durable identity fact. Readers should use an official match or board release for any fixture-specific or squad-specific update.

Administration and location

Sri Lanka Cricket publishes its contact address as 35 Maitland Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka. Colombo is therefore recorded here as the board’s stated administrative location, not as a claim that every Sri Lanka home match is played there. The location helps distinguish the national governing organisation from third-party data providers and from individual venues.

For FairPlay directory use, the stable identity is the country team name plus its senior-men category and three ICC-recognised formats. Venue, fixture, competition and roster fields should be added only when separately confirmed by the relevant organiser, board, ICC or venue source.
