Left-hander Arnold, 31, was dropped in July but has fought his way back into the one-day squad after scoring heavily in domestic cricket.

Middle-order batsman Tillaka-ratne Dilshan, controversially dropped against Pakistan in October as the selectors blooded younger players, has also been recalled.

Opener Avishka Gunawardene, middle-order batsmen Jehan Mubarak and Thilina Kandamby and leg-spinner Kaushal Lokuarachchi have all been dropped.

Marvan Atapattu has been reconfirmed as captain and Mahela Jayawardene as vice-captain.

After the retirement of wicket-keeper Romesh Kaluwitharana, Kumar Sangakkara will play again as a wicketkeeper-batsman in both forms of the game.

Off-spinner Muttiah Murali-tharan will travel with the team although he will be unable to play initially as he steps up his rehabilitation from shoulder surgery in August.
