She was also named in the Sri Lankan squad for the 2015 Netball World Cup. She was also named in the Sri Lankan squad for the 2023 Netball World Cup, where Sri Lanka ended up at 12th position. She was an integral member of the Sri Lankan squad which emerged as runners-up to Singapore in the final of the 2024 Asian Netball Championships.
