Galle, March 9: Kusal Perera was on Monday included in place of Lahiru Thirimanne in Sri Lanka Test squad for the England home series.

Perera has a finger injury and is doubtful for the first game of the two-match series. But still then, he was kept in the squad which sees Thirimanne being the only omission from the squad that won 1-0 in Zimbabwe in January.
