Leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay, who hasn't played a single Test in his career so far, has also been included. The squad is otherwise the same as the one that was chosen for the recent tour of Bangladesh.
Nissanka missed the Bangladesh tour with back injury. Sri Lanka won the two-Test series there 1-0.
