Colombo: Sri Lanka on Wednesday named their 15-member squad for the first three One Day Internationals (ODIs) of the five-match series against India, with notable omissions being former Twenty20 captain Dinesh Chandimal and Lahiru Thirimanne.
However, a half-fit Kumar Sangakkara is there in the touring party. If Sangakkara is declared unfit, Niroshan Dickwella is expected to make his ODI debut.
Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath has been rested, while off-spinner Suraj Randiv has been recalled.
The spinners in the squad are Randiv, leg-spinner Seekkuge Prasanna and left-arm orthodox Chaturanga de Silva.
Medium pacer Lahiru Gamage earned his maiden call-up as he will share the new ball with the seasoned Nuwan Kulasekera and Dhammika Prasad.
