Arnold to lead Sri Lanka 'A' against Pakistan

Russel Arnold will skipper a Sri Lanka A side against Pakistan in a one-day warm-up at the P. Sara Oval on May 7.

For Arnold, dropped from the national squad after a low scoring World Cup, the game will provide an opportunity to convince the selectors that he is ready to return to international cricket.

Dilhara Fernando, who is still recovering from a back injury, is also included in the 14-man squad, which includes several one-day specialists vying for a place in the triangular series that starts on May 10.

Sri Lanka 'A' squad:

Avishka Gunawardana, Michael Vandort, Jehan Mubarak, Russel Arnold (captain), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Chamara Silva, Upul Chandana, Kaushalya Weeraratne, Dinusha Fernando, Dilhara Fernando, Anushka Polonowita, Sahan Wijeratne, Ranga Dias, Thilina Thushara.
