Sri Lanka on Saturday named the squad to take part in the Sharjah Cup from April 3 to 10. Middle-order batsmen Mahela Jayawardene and Russel Arnold were some of the casualties from the team that took part in the recently-concluded World Cup in South Africa, where the Lankans made the semi finals. Veteran batsman Aravinda de Silva will also be missed at one of his happiest hunting grounds, having announced his retirement from international cricket.
The team: Sanath Jayasuriya (captain), Marvan Atapattu, Avishka Gunawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Hashan Tillekaratne, Prasanna Jayawardena, Jehan Mubarak, Chaminda Vaas, Dilhara Fernando, Prabath Nissanka, Buddika Fernando, Kumar Dharmasena, Kaushal Lokuarachchi, Muttiah Muralitharan and Michael Van Dort.
