Kolkata, Nov 9 (Cricketnmore) Still looking for their first Test win on Indian soil even after 17 matches, the visiting Sri Lankan cricket team were mulling a four bowler plus and all rounder option in a possible change from the five bowler strategy that paid them handsome dividends in the recent engagements against Pakistan.

"Against Pakistan we played six batsmen and five bowlers. That played out very well specially in that heat (of UAE). Never is it easy to play four bowlers and win. That is the combination we are looking at.
