Limini Thilakarathne, 14-year-old daughter of former Cricket captain Thilakarathne Dilshan has been selected for the Dambulla team in the Under-23 Women’s Four Corners National Super League tournament that will begin next week. According to the sources she was selected to the squad while he was on a vacation to Sri Lanka with her family.
Although there is no basis for selecting the national level squads of Sri Lanka considering the way players who are perform abroad and she has never participated in National level Cricket in Sri Lanka. Breaking away from the tradition of selecting from locally performing players Limini, who plays in Australia has been selected by the Cricket women’s selection committee.
These days, Dilshan is in Sri Lanka with his family and is training his daughter under the national trainers of the Khettarama Hi-Tech Unit.
