Sri Lanka announced a 16-man squad to face India in the three-match ODI series which is set to begin on August 2 at R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo.
The squad will be led by Charith Asalanka, who was also named the skipper for the T20I series which the home side lost.
Nishan Madushka made his way to the squad after making an impressive start in his red-ball career as in just eight Test matches so far, he has already scored a double hundred and has an average of 42.07.
Meanwhile, Dushmantha Chameera and Nuwan Thusara will miss the ODI series as both players sustained injuries before the series began.
This will be the first ODI assignment for India’s new head Gautam Gambhir as the former opener is preparing his team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is set to take place in Pakistan from February to March.
