Sri Lanka women’s cricket international debut came in 1997 with a three-match ODI series against The Netherlands. Then, they participated in the 1997 World Cup held in India. Since then, they have participated in every edition of the World Cup, with a fifth-place finish at the 2013 event being its best performance. 

Unlike their male counterparts, the women team is yet to achieve prominence at the higher level. That being said, let’s take a look at Sri Lanka women's captains over the years.
