Sri Lanka Test Cricket captain Dimuth Karunaratne has been added to the preliminary squad named for the ICC World Cup Qualifiers.
Sri Lankan selectors have added Dimuth Karunaratne as cover for openers Kusal Janith Perera and Pathum Nissanka who have injury concerns.
Dimuth Karunaratne has been Sri Lanka’s most prolific test batter in recent years but he was dropped from the ODI side along with several seniors due to selectors wanting to give opportunities to youngsters.
But now with the World Cup qualification on the line, Selectors have decided to add experience to the squad by adding both Angelo Mathews and Dimuth Karunaratne to the preliminary squad. (NewsWire)
