Sri Lanka recall Fernando, Perera
Sri Lankan selectors recalled fast bowlers Dilhara Fernando and Ruchira Perera in the team that will play five One-dayers against England, a cricket board spokesman said on Wednesday.
The first match starts at Lord’s on June 17.
Perera, 29, was recalled after being sidelined with a hamstring injury and Fernando, 26, is back after he worked on a persistent problem with his bowling action.
The pair replaces fast bowler Nuwan Zoysa and Nuwan Kulasekera who played in the Test series.
