Sri Lanka name squad to face England - dillinger10 - 04-27-2016
Quote:Rookie batsmen Dasun Shanaka and Dhananjaya de Silva have been named in Sri Lanka's Test squad to tour England, in which Lahiru Thirimanne has also found a place. Also included are wicketkeeper-batsmen Kusal Mendis and Niroshan Dickwella. The 17-man squad features 10 batsmen, five pacemen and two spin bowlers.
Dhammika Prasad, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Pradeep, Suranga Lakmal and Shaminda Eranga make up the pace battery, while Rangana Herath and offspinner Dilruwan Perera make up the spin complement. Batsman Kaushal Silva, who was recently hospitalised after being struck on the head while fielding, earns a recall to the squad after being dropped for the New Zealand tour.

I have been really impressed with Chameera so far. I think he will be a real handful for England.

I am looking forward to the squad and our approach to this series.
