Sri Lanka has named uncapped off-spinner Ashian Daniel and leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay in a 19-man squad for their two-match Test tour of India early next month. The series, which includes a day-night Test, will begin on March 4 in Mohali before the teams head to Bengaluru for the second Test, a day-night game starting on March 12. The match in Mohali will be Sri Lanka’s 300th Test match. Wicketkeeper batter Niroshan Dickwella is also back in contention for a place for the first time since May last year while senior batter Lahiru Thirimanne returns to the side, having taken paternity leave during Sri Lanka’s last Test series against West Indies. However, there were no places for Oshada Fernando, Minod Bhanuka, Kamil Mishara, Roshen Silva, Ramesh Mendis, Lakshan Sandakan, Suminda Lakshan, Asitha Fernando and Chamika Gunasekera who were with the national team during the series against West Indies in November. Daniel, who celebrates his 21st birthday today, was a former Sri Lanka Under-19 cricketer from St. Joseph’s College and fared decently during the National Super League (NSL) limited-over tournament, claiming 10 wickets in three games. Representing Team Kandy, he made an early impression, picking up 5 for 27 against Jaffna. With off-spinner Ramesh Mendis missing the series owing to a fractured right thumb, the youngster could make his international debut during the series, if the team think-tank decides to include an off-spinner in the playing XI, in addition to Dhananjaya de Silva. #SriLanka_squad #squad #SLvsIND #slvsaus #Cricket_SL Cricket Update (Cricket SL) *Subscribe for more cricket updates ~~Cricket SL~~ *Like Us on our faccebook page https://www.fb.com/officialCricketsl stay tuned for more cricket updates...
