Nishan Peiris and Milan Rathnayake have been included in the squad, replacing Ramesh Mendis and Lahiru Kumara. Peiris, an off-spinner, steps in for fast bowler Vishwa Fernando, who has withdrawn due to a hamstring injury.

Sri Lanka beat New Zealand by 63 runs in first Test at Galle.

Sri Lanka squad - Dimuth Karunaratne, Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva (Capt), Kamindu Mendis, Nishan Peiris, Prabath Jayasuriya, Milan Rathnayake and Asitha Fernando.

The selectors act fast when someone else other than Kusal Mendis fails.

Spot on. The captain and selectors are too harsh on Ramesh.

SL bowlers can't play two tests in a row without breaking down. They should look for a different sport.
