Wicketkeeper-batsman Kumar Sangakkara, opener Tillakaratne Dilshan and seamer Nuwan Kulasekara, meanwhile, have been rested. Batsman Mahela Jayawardene was not considered due to a finger injury.Wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal was named as captain, despite the presence of Test and ODI skipper Angelo Mathews, while fast bowler Lasith Malinga will act as Chandimal's vice-captain. The selectors' focus on youth development was very evident in the naming of the 16-man squad, with all five of the new caps under 24 years old, and only all-rounder Jeevan Mendis above 30.
