Sri Lanka name squad for England Tests, Vandersay makes the cut
Sri Lanka have named an 18-player squad for the upcoming three-match Test series against England, scheduled to be played later this month. Spinner Jeffrey Vandersay has made the cut into the squad following his noteworthy performance in the ongoing three-match ODI series against India.
