Sri Lanka will carry a slight advantage into the ODI series against India who have not seen many of the new players in the host's squad, said Sri Lanka's newly-appointed limited-overs cricket captain Dasun Shanaka on Saturday, the eve of the tour-opening ODI at the R Premadasa Stadium.

"There is a slight advantage [for Sri Lanka] because they haven't seen these guys in international cricket as well so yes, I feel they have to prepare well for these newcomers as well," said Shanaka during a media interaction in response to a query from IANS.
