Pace bowler Dilhara Fernando has replaced the injured Chanaka Welegedera is the only change to the Sri Lanka squad for the second test against Pakistan starting in Colombo on Saturday.
Welegedera has been ruled out of the three-match series after tearing a muscle in his left shoulder. Sri Lanka won the first test by 209 runs in Galle.

Good move for the fast track SSC.. He must use his slow ball effectively.

I just don’t understand the logic behind the decision to put Dilhara to replace Welagedara when there is Thisara Perera. True Dilhara does take a few wickets now and again but is guilty of giving away so many extra runs by his no-balls and poor fielding especially out there on the boundary line and is not a batsman. Thisara was brilliant in the last T20s and ODIs proving his mettle in both bowling and fielding (saw that fantastic flying catch?) and also batting, going on to receive so many awards plus the coveted Man-of the Match prize. Besides, Thisara has all the making of a fine all rounder for the future and needs all the exposure he could get. He should have been one of the 11 in the first test too. I don’t know why!!!
