Jagath Perera
Sri Lanka have named a 16-man squad for the two-match Test series in Pakistan, which is a part of the ICC Test Championship.
The islanders will leave for Pakistan on December 8 and the first Test begins on December 11 in Rawalpindi.
The second and final match of the series takes place in Karachi beginning December 19.
Squad: Dimuth Karunaratne – Captain, Oshada Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Perera, Lahiru Thirimanne, Dhananjaya De Silva, Niroshan Dickwella, Dilruwan Perera, Lasith Embuldeniya, Suranga Lakmal, Lahiru Kumara, Vishwa Fernando, Kasun Rajitha, Lakshan Sandakan.
Solid squad. I’d play;
Dimuth
Thiri
Mendis
Oshada
Mathews
KJP (W) – even if Dick or Chandi plays
Dilruwan
Embul
Lakmal
Kumara
Vishwa/Dananjaya depending on the pitch
Why is Roshen Silva neglected?
