Sri Lanka women's national cricket team
Sri Lanka made their One Day International (ODI) debut in 1997, against the Netherlands, and later in the year participated in the 1997 World Cup in India.Sri Lanka finished sixth in the 2000 World Cup, and their next international engagement was against Pakistan at home in 2002, winning all six ODIs.Some players were apparently compelled to perform sexual favours for the officials to earn or keep their place in the national team.On 8 August 2018, after a five-year gap since his previous spell in charge, Harsha de Silva was reappointed as the head coach of the team by the SLC.Sri Lanka’s historic 2-1 victory was the first time England lost a bilateral T20I series to a team other than Australia since a 2-1 defeat to New Zealand in 2010.
