COLOMBO, (Reuters) – Wicketkeeper Dinesh Chandimal and spinner Ajantha Mendis were left out of the Sri Lanka squad of 15 named for the two-test series against Pakistan starting at Galle next week.
Chandimal lost his place to Niroshan Dickwella who made his test debut in the second test against South Africa in Colombo last week and scored a half-century.
On the strength of his performance Dickwella has been retained for the two tests against Pakistan.
