In his comments about the tournament, Arnold observed the improvement and balance of the present team. Here is what Arnold said, as quoted by Zee News: “I think it’s going to be challenging and exciting as well because Sri Lanka are quietly finding players slotting into different positions and understanding their roles. It’s flowing down right throughout this team. The balance looks good. Hence, I think it’s a great stepping stone for them to see exactly where they are.

Charith Asalanka is at the helm of the team, and Kusal Mendis is given the responsibility of wicketkeeping. Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kamil Mishara, and Dasun Shanaka form a quality batting lineup. Kamindu Mendis and Nuwanidu Fernando provide solidity in the middle order, while the presence of all-rounders like Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, and Chamika Karunaratne provides valued depth. In the bowling attack, Sri Lanka will be dependent upon Maheesh Theekshana's spin and the pace unit of Matheesha Pathirana, Nuwan Thushara, Dushmantha Chameera, and Binura Fernando to give trouble to opposition batsmen. Skill, variety, and form combined together make this team a menacing force in the Asia Cup 2025.
