Embuldeniya Recalled As De Silva To Lead Sri Lanka In South Africa Tests
South Africa Tests: Left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya has been recalled to the squad after more than two years as Sri Lanka announced the Dhananjaya de Silva-led team for the two-match Test series against South Africa.
Fast-bowler Kasun Rajitha, who was not named in the squad for the 2-0 series win against New Zealand, has also been named in the 17-man squad. He last played a Test against Bangladesh in Sylhet in March, where he picked up eight wickets. Meanwhile, Embuldeniya last played a Test in 2022 against Australia in Galle.
Earlier, Sri Lanka released Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis, and Asitha Fernando from the squad for the third and final ODI against New Zealand, scheduled for Tuesday, to give them adequate time to rest and prepare for the upcoming Test series against South Africa.
