Sri Lanka Cricket has named 16-member ODI and T20I squads for the upcoming white-ball tour of England, with Kusal Mendis appointed captain in both formats.
Charith Asalanka has been named vice-captain of both squads.
Former captain Dasun Shanaka has earned a return to the ODI squad while retaining his place in the T20I side. His ODI recall is a notable selection as Sri Lanka continue preparations towards the 2027 ODI World Cup.
Lahiru Udara and Tharindu Rathnayake have been included in the T20I squad, while Pavan Rathnayake, Sachindu Colombage, Asitha Fernando and Dilshan Madushanka are among those selected only for the ODI leg.
Pathum Nissanka, Kamil Mishara, Kamindu Mendis, Janith Liyanage, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dunith Wellalage, Maheesh Theekshana, Dushmantha Chameera and Eshan Malinga have been selected for both formats.
