Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has organised the Inter Provincial One Day Tournament, which will be used as a yard stick 
for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 selections. Four teams will play each other on a league basis, before the top 2 will meet in the final on 11 April.
National selectors have named four squads, led by Dinesh Chandimal (Colombo), Lasith Malinga (Galle), Dimuth Karunaratne (Kandy), and Angelo Mathews (Dambulla) for these encounters.
Surprisingly, Dilruwan Perera, Dhammika Prasad, and Hasitha Boyagoda being named in the standby players is a big shock.
