Sri Lanka have named rookie fast bowler Vikum Sanjaya Bandara in a 15-member squad for their three-Test series against South Africa later this month.

The uncapped 24-year-old is one of four pacers in the squad led by Angelo Mathews and his deputy Dinesh Chandimal.

Both Mathews and Chandimal missed Sri Lanka's recent tour of Zimbabwe due to injuries.

In addition to the three Tests, Sri Lanka will also play five ODIs and three T20Is against the Proteas.
