  5. Niroshan Dickwella, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Thisara Perera, Jeewan Mendis, Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Malinga, Lahiru Kumara

    Reserves:
    Sadeera Samarawickrama, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka, Wanindu Hasaranga, Nuwan Pradeep, Kasun Rajitha

    Pending Clearance:
    Akila Dhananjaya

    In terms of the playing XI, a lot would depend on the conditions in terms of the all rounders and bowlers. If conditions suit swing/ seam – I would play Suranga Lakmal; otherwise I would leave him out for Kasun Rajitha. Likewise, I would probably play Dasun Shanaka instead of Kamindu Mendis. Of course, if Akila Dhananjaya is cleared he is automatically in the playing XI in place of Jeewan Mendis.
