SHARJAH: Sri Lanka start their T20 World Cup Super 12 campaign on Sunday with skipper Dasun Shanaka insisting"every team has to look at us" after an impressive run through qualifying.

"It's a simple message. The boys have done well, and they have shown their skills, and they have shown what they really can do in this tournament," said Shanaka on Saturday.

Jayawardene said he had spent"135 days in quarantine and bubbles since June" but would still carry out his role with the squad by distance.
