Sri Lanka’s national rugby sevens team will continue its preparations for a demanding international season when it competes in the prestigious LIT Super Sevens Series in London on 18 July.

Former Royal College and CH player Janidu Dilshan is expected to Captain the side in the absence of experienced campaigner Srinath Sooriyabandara, who is unavailable for selection.

Coached by Peter Woods, the Sri Lankan squad will use the event as vital preparation for the upcoming Asia Rugby Sevens Series, with legs scheduled in China and Sri Lanka later this year.

The overseas exposure is expected to enhance the team’s combinations, match fitness and overall performance as they build towards the 2026 Asian Games in Japan.
