SA in SL: Sri Lanka names Test squad against Proteas

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) released the Test squad that will play against South Africa in the two-match series, which begins from July 12. 

Sri Lanka has named 16 members in the squad, which includes two players -- Kusal Janith Perera and Rangana Herath -- who are yet to prove their fitness levels.

The virtual side that last played in the West Indies has been retained as Dinesh Chandimal makes his comeback after serving a one-match ban.  

The first Test will be played at the Galle International Stadium from July 12 to 16 followed by the second Test at the SSC in Colombo from July 20 to 24, before the two sides engage in a five-match ODI series and a one-off Twenty20 game. 

Sri Lanka Test squad: Dinesh Chandimal (Captain), Angelo Mathews, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis, Kusal Janith Perera, Danushka Gunathilaka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Roshen Silva, Niroshan Dickwella, Rangana Herath, Suranga Lakmal, Dilruwan Perera, Akila Dananjaya, Lahiru Kumara, Lakshan Sandakan, Kasun Rajitha
