LPL 2020: Full list of Jaffna Stallions players, captain and squad details

The Jaffna Stallions' squad for the 2020 LPL has been finalised, and based on the strength of their roster, they can be labelled as the early favourites to win the competition.

The Stallions will be led by experienced Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera, and the squad features several big overseas names. The likes of Shoaib Malik, Duanne Olivier and Kyle Abbott are all set to provide the star attraction.

Their squad would have been even more dangerous had marquee player Dawid Malan not been forced to withdraw due to a clash with England's limited-overs series against South Africa. Ravi Bopara and Asif Ali also withdrew from the squad ahead of the tournament.

Apart from the star players, the Jaffna Stallions also boast some of Sri Lanka's highly rated youngsters, who will be aiming to make a name for themselves in the 2020 LPL.

The Jaffna Stallions will be coached by former Sri Lanka batsman Thilina Kandamby, while former Indian batsman Hemang Badani is also part of their backroom staff.
