Chandimal returns to SL T20 squad

DINESH CHANDIMAL

Sri Lanka skipper Dinesh Chandimal returned to their Twenty20 squad Thursday after serving an international ban for breaching the spirit of the game.

Chandimal was included in a 15-member squad for the one-off T20I.

The 28-year-old missed the two-Test series and was out of the first four one-day internationals. The fifth and final ODI is on Sunday, but he was not included.

But he was included in the T20 squad and will play in the day-night game against South Africa on Tuesday.

Chandimal was banned by the ICC along with coach Chandika Hathurusingha and manager Asanka Gurusinha for refusing to take to the field for two hours during the second Test against the West Indies in June.
