Dhananjaya de Silva will continue to lead the 16-member Test team, which has been decided for the forthcoming series against the touring New Zealand side.
Oshadha Fernando has been named in an impressive lineup following his outstanding performance against South Africa A. The opening game is slated to take place at the Galle International Cricket Stadium tomorrow, the 18th.
Furthermore, Kamindu Mendis will bat higher in the order, while the injured Dinesh Chandimal is probably going to be replaced at number seven by Kusal Mendis or Sadeera Samarawickrama. Oshadha Fernando is anticipated to bat third.
