Unchanged Sri Lankan XI probable - chairman - 01-15-2014
Captain Angelo Mathews has suggested Sri Lanka will name an unchanged XI for the third and final Test against Pakistan, which will get underway at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
The Sri Lankans sport a crucial series lead on the back of a nine-wicket win in the second match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Batsman Mahela Jayawardene, meanwhile, is nursing a minor finger injury.
"Unless the pitch is very different, I don't think we need to make any changes. When we go into a Test match we take our best bowlers, so if someone gets injured, we can always bank on a back-up," said Mathews. "I am sure Mahela will play."
