Trinbago Knight Riders have signed Sri Lanka’s top-order batter Harshitha Samarawickrama for the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) 2024.  

The 26-year-old Samarawickrama has been in top form and contributed heavily with the bat for Sri Lanka Women’s Cricket Team’s success in the last 12 months.  

She won the Player-of-the-Final Award in the recently concluded Women’s T20 Asia Cup where Sri Lanka defeated India to clinch their maiden Asia Cup title. Samarawickrama has represented Sri Lanka in 65 WT20Is and accumulated 1,463 runs at 31.12. She will be the second Sri Lankan representative in this year’s WCPL as her Skipper Chamari Atapattu will also join the tournament representing the Barbados Royals.  

The three-team competition (Barbados Royals, Trinbago Knight Riders, Guyana Amazon Warriors) will be held from August 22 to 30 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad.
