Kusal Mendis named Sri Lanka captain for Pakistan Tests; Dhananjaya de Silva retained
Cricket
Kusal Mendis will lead Sri Lanka in their Test series against Pakistan starting November 9.
Former captain Dhananjaya de Silva was retained in the 15-member squad after recently stepping down to make way for new leadership.
Pathum Nissanka's inclusion in the squad is dependent on his recovery from a hamstring injury sustained last month.
Uncapped wicketkeeper-batter Anjala Bandara and left-arm fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka are notable inclusions.
