Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva emphasised the need for runs on the board and 20 wickets ahead of the second Test at SSC Colombo. He confirmed a similar bowling combination to the one used in the first Test.
De Silva highlighted the importance of taking all 20 wickets to have any chance of competing in the five-day format. Sri Lanka lost the first Test in Galle and need a strong response in Colombo.
The captain also welcomed debutant Kamil Mishara into the squad as the team looks to build experience across formats.
