Colombo, Jan 24 (UNI) Sri Lanka have announced an 18-man strong squad to face Australia in their final series of the current World Test Championship cycle.
Dhananjaya de Silva, Kamindu Mendis and Pathum Nissanka are all included in a large squad for the two Tests, with all three key players having been injury doubts heading into the home series against the reigning World Test Champions.
Nissanka’s ongoing issues with a groin injury make him the least likely of the trio to feature, but the Sri Lankan selectors have built in cover in the squad by naming an 18-man group with the first Test just five days away.
