Sri Lanka Rugby (SLR) has named a 12-member national Under-20 Women’s Sevens squad to represent the country at the Asia Rugby Under-20 Sevens Championship 2026 in India later this month.
The squad was selected following trials conducted on 2 November at the CR and FC grounds in Colombo.
The Under-20 program is an important part of building a stronger foundation for the future of women’s rugby in Sri Lanka. Regular exposure to international competition will help these young players gain valuable experience, improve their skills and prepare for the senior national team.
SLR’s continued investment in the women’s game, from grassroots and school-level participation to the national youth setup, is expected to strengthen the country’s presence in Asian women’s rugby.
Squad: Champdi Sathsarani, W.A.V. Savisadu, Pawani Sathsarani, Fathima Afra, Azahiya Shiyona, Navodya Diwyanjali, W.I.H. Harindya, Minoli Jude, Yethmini Bimassa, Sarani Nayananthara, Vibhushi Ranruwani and Pavithra Hansani; Head Coach: Saliya Kumara. (SJ)
