Sri Lanka Skipper Dhananjaya De Silva Hoping To Make Most Of Ben Stokes Injury
Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva believes Ben Stokes' injury could help his side upset the odds in their Test series against England. De Silva is skippering the tourists in their first red-ball campaign in England for eight years, with Sri Lanka heading into the first of a three-match contest at Old Trafford starting Wednesday on the back of a defeat by a novice England Lions team in their lone warm-up fixture.
Sri Lanka have won just three of their previous 18 Tests in England, while England come into this series following a 3-0 home rout of the West Indies.
