56 Track and field athletes for South Asian Games 2019
|Athletics Association has named a team of 55 athletes to compete at the forthcoming South Asian Games 2019 at Nepal to be held from December 01 to 10. AASL wanted to name two athletes per each event as event organizers agreed to allow two athlete per event for visiting countries , but Sports Ministry had asked them to reduce the team hence they have been forced to cut down some of the names naming just one athlete , specially for some distance and field events.
Team includes four defending SAG individual gold medalist in Himasha Eashan (100M),Vinoj Suranjaya de Silva(200M) , Indunil Herath (800M) and Nimali Liyanarachchi (800m)
