Ajantha MendisArchitect of the Sri Lankan win at Galle – Lasith Malinga has been rested from tomorrow’s second Test at the Sinhalese Sports Club because of a dodgy knee. Malinga has been replaced with the experienced Dilhara Fernando.

Also making it back into the team is mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis who would be competing for a place in the XI along with left arm spinner Rangana Herath and off spinner Suraj Randiv. Sri Lanka are likely to play any two of the three spinners. The Selectors have also named former Skipper Mahela Jayawardene as the Vice-Captain of the team following the retirement of Muttiah Muralitharan who was in that role earlier.
