Mathews hopes Sri Lanka warm to their task
Two days out from the Test, with thick grey clouds overhead and the wind whistling in from the north east, Sri Lanka trained in the coldest temperatures many of the team had experienced
Bandara to replace Chameera
Uncapped left-arm seamer Chaminda Bandara will join Sri Lanka as the replacement for Dushmantha Chameera, captain Angelo Mathews said. Bandara is not with the squad yet, and will only be available for the Lord's Test, which begins June 9.
"Chaminda Bandara is the replacement for Chameera, but both he and Kusal Perera have had a bit of a visa delay," Mathews said. "They will be with the team in a few days."
Bandara, 29, was the most successful seam bowler in Sri Lanka's first-class competition this year, claiming 33 wickets for Ports Authority Cricket Club at an average of 26.30. He leapfrogs Vishwa Fernando and Kasun Rajith - both of whom had been in the preliminary squad for this tour England, though Bandara wasn't - into the squad.
SLC is yet to officially confirm his selection.
