Winners of Sri Lanka's Inter-Provincial Twenty20 tournament for the second year running, Wayamba will be making their second appearance in the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 this September in South Africa. Wayamba, which represents the North Western Province in Sri Lanka, will be hoping to put up a better show in the competition this time around - they were eliminated at the end of the first round in the inaugural season.
With exciting cricketers like former Sri Lankan skipper Mahela Jayawardene, Jeevantha Kulatunga (an exciting all-rounder who has turned in consistent performances for his side over several seasons), the hard-hitting Thissara Perera, Jehan Mubarak and mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis in their squad, it's very likely that the team from the island nation make it to the knockout stages this season.
Wayamba are currently on a 13-match unbeaten run in the Sri Lankan Inter-Provincial Twenty20 tournament - spread over two seasons. If they can string in similar performances in the Airtel Champions League Twenty20, they are sure to give other teams a headache or two.
