    Sri Lanka Pick Ratnayake, Tharaka And Vandersay For Test Series Against England

    By IANS News August 07, 2024 • 20:30 PM View: 1066
    Kasun Rajitha Asitha Fernando: Cricket Sri Lanka has included leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay, as well as the uncapped duo of right-arm pacer Milan Rathnayake and fast-bowling all-rounder Nisala Tharaka in its 18-member squad for the three-match Test series against England starting on August 21.

    Vandersay played his lone Test match in June 2022 against Australia, and his return to the longer format set-up comes on the back of picking 6-33 against India in the second ODI at Colombo, where he replaced injured leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga. He is now amongst three spin options alongside Prabath Jayasuriya and Ramesh Mendis.

    Rathnayake, 28, was in Sri Lanka's Test squad for a one-off Test against Afghanistan but wasn’t included in the playing eleven. He has 39 first-class cricket appearances, picking 79 wickets and has also amassed 633 runs.
