Cricket: Sri Lanka names final squad sans Dickwella

Regular wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella will miss his place in the final squad of 15-men for the Nidahas Trophy Twenty20 Tri-Series which begins on March 6 at the R. Premadasa ICS in Colombo. 

Dinesh Chandimal will continue to lead the side while speedster Suranga Lakmal has been named the deputy skipper. 

Kusal Mendis and Kusal Perera have been named into the 15-man squad but it is yet too early to predict if one of them or skipper Chandimal would keep wickets. 

Jeewan Mendis finds his name in a final squad for the second time after Coach Chandika Hathurusinha takes over. 

Amila Aponso, Nuwan Pradeep, Dushmantha Chameera and Dhananjaya de Silva are also in the squad. 

Sri Lanka squad: Dinesh Chandimal (Capt), Upul Tharanga, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, Kusal Perera, Thisara Perera, Jeewan Mendis, Suranga Lakmal, Isuru Udana, Akila Dananjaya, Amila Aponso, Nuwan Pradeep, Dushmantha Chameera, Dhananjaya de Silva
