Sri Lanka called up Thilina Kandamby to its Test cricket squad and the uncapped Chinthaka Jayasinghe and Muthumudalige Pushpakumara to its twenty20 squad on Tuesday for the tour of India next month.
Kandamby, a left-handed batsman, has recently performed well in limited-overs matches, while Pushpakumara and Jayasinghe are experienced domestic cricketers.
Pushpakumara has scored 241 runs in 18 domestic twenty20 matches at a strike rate of 106. Pushpakumara's offspin bowling has captured 26 wickets. He returns to the national squad after having failed to play a single game on a 2000 tour to South Africa.
Jayasinghe, a 31-year-old batsman, has a strike rate of 135 in a 22-match domestic twenty20 career.
The tour starts with a three-day practice against an Indian all-star XI on Nov. 11, followed by three Tests, five ODIs and two twenty20 games.
