Dashing wicket-keeper batsman Sadeera Samarawickrama will lead Sri Lanka A in the upcoming unofficial Test and one-day series against Pakistan A starting later this month.
Samarawickrama has represented Sri Lanka in all three formats of the game, the last occasion being the third and final T20I against India in July, which Sri Lanka won to seal the series 2-1.
A 22-member squad has been selected to play Pakistan A in two unofficial Tests and three unofficial one-dayers.
The unofficial test series starts on 28 October in Kandy and the unofficial one-day series on 10 November in Colombo. The team has been sent to the Sports Minister for ratification.
Sadeera A team captain? LOL?
What happened to Priyanjan and Angelo Perera?
Hopefully, Roshen gets a nod.
Think Duvindu returned to SL a few weeks ago; purely for this reason.
Going to be an interesting series for sure. I wonder if Oshadha will play this series.
We don't need a permanent captain for the A team and we are playing at this level after a long time. Nothing wrong in giving Sadeera an opportunity.
Yeah, Duvindu has returned, anyway the English club season finished in September. It will be interesting to see the composition of the squad, could be a mix of young and experienced players.
