Dillon De Silva has been selected by Sri Lanka for the upcoming 2027 AFC Asian Cup Qualifier against Chinese Taipei.
The Golden Army last took to the pitch in March with a friendly win over Laos, and was followed by defeat against Thailand in the Asia Cup Qualification, with De Silva absent for both due to injury sustained in Sutton’s win over Maidenhead United.
The 23-year old will now return to the international stage, having last appeared for his national side in November as Abdullah Al Mutairi’s side won and were defeated by Yemen in two international friendlies, and will now hope to add an 18th Sri Lanka cap to his tally this summer.
The upcoming AFC Asian Cup is set to take place in Saudi Arabia between January and February 2027, and the Golden Army will be looking to qualify for the finals for the first time.
Sri Lanka are set to take on the Taiwanese side on Tuesday, 10th June, kicking off at 11:15am (GMT), before facing Turkmenistan in October.
