Dimuth Karunaratne, the captain of Sri Lanka’s Test cricket team, has been added to the preliminary roster for the ICC World Cup Qualifiers.
In order to cover for injured openers Kusal Janith Perera and Pathum Nissanka, Sri Lankan selectors have added Dimuth Karunaratne.
The most productive test batter in recent memory for Sri Lanka, Dimuth Karunaratne was axed from the ODI team along with several other veterans because selectors wanted to give young players a chance.
Angelo Mathews and Dimuth Karunaratne have both been added to the preliminary squad by the selectors in order to give experience to the team as World Cup qualification is now on the line.
