Sri Lanka name squad for Bangladesh ODIs

Sri Lanka announced a 16-member squad on Friday for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Bangladesh, set to begin in Colombo on July 2.

Left-arm fast bowler Dilshan Madushanka returned to the squad post-injury while wicketkeeper-batter Sadeera Samarawickrama got recalled to the ODI side after around eight months.

All-rounder Milan Rathnayeke, who is yet to debut in the format, has also been called up to the ODI side for the first time.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh players who were selected for the 50-over portion of the Sri Lanka tour left for the island nation today.

The first two ODIs will be played in Colombo and the third and final one will be played in Pallekele on July 8.

The ODIs will be followed by a three-match T20I series which will begin in Pallekele on July 10.
