Mathews to miss first Pak Test
Sri Lanka's former skipper Angelo Mathews was ruled out of the first Test against Pakistan next week due to injury, the cricket board said Wednesday.
Mathews will miss the match starting September 28 in Abu Dhabi due to a calf strain, the board said.
Two uncapped players have been brought into the squad, wicket-keeper batsman Sadeera Samarawickrama, 22, and 28-year-old batsman Roshen Silva.
Sri Lanka will play two Tests, five ODIs and three T20Is against Pakistan.
Squad: Chandimal (captain), Thirimanna, Karunaratne, Kaushal Silva, Samarawickrama, Kusal Mendis, Roshen Silva, Dickwella, Herath, Sandakan, Dilruwan Perera, Suranga Lakmal, Nuwan Pradeep, Vishwa Fernando and Lahiru Gamage.
