Sri Lanka eye famous series win
Sri Lanka have a massive task at their hand, not having played in a Test match since April this year. England desperately need to turn their form around in the WTC as they are languishing in 6th position on the points table currently.
For Sri Lanka, Dimuth Karunaratne and Nishan Madushka will open for the visitors against England in the first Test match of the series. Meanwhile, Kusal Mendis and Angelo Mathews will play in the middle order. Star pacer Matheesha Pathirana was not named in the first eleven after he suffered an injury during their ODI series against India.
England are coming to play against Sri Lanka after a 3-0 series sweep against the Windies to move up to 6th place in the World Test Championship standings and will be keen to keep that momentum going against Sri Lanka.
