Sri Lanka make seven squad changes for one-dayers

COLOMBO, (Reuters)- Sri Lanka selectors made seven  changes from the test squad who are trailing Pakistan 1-0 in the  three-test series when they named a 15-man squad on Tuesday for  five one-day internationals.   

Openers Upul Tharanga and Dimuth Karunaratne, and fast  bowlers Lasith Malinga and Dilhara Fernando were included for  the one-day series against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates  which starts on Nov. 11 in Dubai.  
 
Among those missing from the squad are openers Tharanga  Paranavitana and Lahiru Thirimanne and left-arm spinner Rangana  Herath.   

There are no places for middle-order batsman Chamara Silva  and fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara.   

Spinner Ajantha Mendis, who played in the one-day series  against Australia, was not considered for selection as he is  recovering from a back injury.   

In his absence the selectors chose off-spinner Suraj Randiv  and leg-spinners Seekkuge Prasanna and Jeevan Mendis.   
 One-day squad:  
 
Tillakaratne Dilshan (captain), Upul Tharanga, Mahela  Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara (wicketkeeper), Angelo Mathews,  Dinesh Chandimal, Jeevan Mendis, Kosala Kulasekara, Lasith  Malinga, Suranga Lakmal, Dammika Prasad, Seekkuge Prasanna,  Dimuth Karunaratne, Dilhara Fernando, Suraj Randiv.
