 Mahela Jayawardene will hope for easy runs in Bangladesh |
Mahela Jayawardene will captain Sri Lanka on the tour of Bangladesh with regular skipper Marvan Atapattu and deputy Chaminda Vaas both resting. Wicket-keeper Kumar Sangakkara will be vice-captain for the three-week tour which starts on Monday with the first of three one-day internationals.
Muttiah Muralitharan will not play in the one-dayers but will feature in the two Tests, said Sri Lanka Cricket.
It's the other way round for Sanath Jayasuriya - who only plays ODIs.
Middle order batsman Russel Arnold has been dropped altogether, while Dammika Prasad, a 22-year-old fast bowler, is the only new face - and he makes both squads.
Test squad: Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Kumar Sangakkara (vice-capt), Upul Tharanga, Michael Vandort, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Kapugedera, Prasanna Jayawardene, Muttiah Muralitharan, Malinga Bandara, Farveez Maharoof, Dhammika Prasad, Lasith Malinga, Dilhara Fernando, Thilan Samaraweera, Sajeeewa Weerakoon.
One-day squad: Mahela Jayawardene (capt), Kumar Sangakkara (vice-capt), Upul Tharanga, Sanath Jayasuriya, Jehan Mubarak, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Kapugedera, Farveez Maharoof, Hasantha Fernando, Dhammika Prasad, Dilhara Fernando, Ruchira Perera, Akalanka Ganegama, Malinga Bandara, Kaushal Lokuarachchi.
