Sri Lanka ring changes
(UKPA) – 2 hours ago
Sri Lanka have omitted veteran batsman Sanath Jayasuriya and bowlers Lasith Malinga and Ajantha Mendis for next month's tri-nations series in Bangladesh.
The selectors named a new-look 15-man squad for the series, which also involves India.
There was also no place for Chamara Kapugedara, while Mahela Jayawardene, Angelo Mathews, Muttiah Muralitharan and Dilhara Fernando have missed out through injury.
Sri Lanka suffered a recent Test and one-day series defeat to India.
A statement on www.srilankacricket.lk read: "Selectors must be given credit for giving fresh legs a great opportunity to prove themselves in the forthcoming tour of Bangladesh.
"We will miss the services of our established players nursing injuries, after a tiring Indian series, while some have been given a rest to think about their game and get back into form, sooner rather than later."
Sri Lanka will play their first game of the series against Bangladesh in Dhaka on January 4.
Sri Lanka squad: Kumar Sangakkara (captain and wicket keeper), Tillakaratne Dilshan (vice-captain), Upul Tharanga, Thilan Samaraweera, Thilina Kandamby, Chamara Silva, Lahiru Thirimanne, Thissara Perera, Muthumudalige Pushpakumara, Malinga Bandara, Suraj Randiv, Thilan Thushara, Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan Kulasekara and Chanaka Welegedara.
