SL vs Ban: Sri Lanka declared team for second Test against Bangladesh, returning of these two players; See the whole team
Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test: Sri Lanka has announced a 19 -member team for the second Test against Bangladesh in Colombo. Two old faces have returned to the team, while the first Test play Milan Ratnayak is out due to injury. Sri Lankan veteran all -rounder Angelo Mathews has retired from his final match in Galle from Bangladesh in Test cricket. Now the next match against Bangladesh is to be held in Colombo and this time Sri Lanka wants to land with full force.
After the first Test affected by the rain against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka has now announced its team for the second Test. A team of 19 players has been formed for the match starting at Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo from 25 June. The biggest news was Angelo Mathews’s retirement from Test cricket. Angelo Mathews made his last Test played against Bangladesh in Galle. The match was drawn due to rain, but almost the entire game was in favor of Bangladesh. Sri Lanka will now definitely miss the lack of Mathews experience.
Dunith Vellalge and World Fernando have returned to the team for the second Test. Vellalge made a Test debut against Pakistan, although he could not take wickets in that match. Despite this, the selectors have expressed confidence in them. At the same time, fast bowler Vishwa Fernando is making a comeback with his experience. He has taken 79 wickets in 27 Tests so far and his role is considered important in view of the circumstances of Colombo. The Milan Ratnayake, who was injured during the bowling in the first Test, has been dropped. No new name has been added to the team in his place.
