Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) named a squad of 18 members for the upcoming Sri Lanka's Test tour to Bangladesh, with Dimuth Karunaratne as the skipper.
The Sri Lankans will leave for Bangladesh on Sunday (8), as they set to play two Tests at Chittagong and Mirpur from May 15 to 27.
Sri Lanka will play a two-day warm-up game from May 11 at Chittagong prior to the first Test.
The squad, however, had middle-order batsman Roshen Silva in the initial list but according to SLC Roshen has indicated his inability to tour, and the selectors decided to replace Kamindu Mendis in his place.
