Thisara Perera And Milinda Siriwardana Recalled For ODI Team
Sri Lanka Cricket yesterday announced the 15-member squad for the upcoming five-match ODI series against India.
Sri Lanka has recalled all-rounders Thisara Perera and Milinda Siriwardana and included left-arm bowlers Malinda Pushpakumara (spin) and Vishwa Fernando (pace) in their 15-man squad to face India in a series of five One-Day Internationals and a one-off T20 International.
These players were overlooked for the last ODI series against Zimbabwe which Sri Lanka lost 2-3.
While Perera was overlooked for the home series against Zimbabwe, Siriwardana’s last appearance for the national side came in the limited-overs series against Bangladesh in March-April this year.
Veteran fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara, who featured in the final ODI against Zimbabwe, has been given the axe alongside Asitha Fernando and Lahiru Kumara.
In their place, the selectors have included Malinda Pushpakumara, who recently made his Test debut against India and young seamer Vishwa Fernando. Both Pushpakumara and Fernando are yet to make their debut in the 50-over format.
