Sri Lanka recall Rajitha, Embuldeniya for South Africa tests
COLOMBO - Sri Lanka recalled seamer Kasun Rajitha and left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya on Tuesday for the two- test series in South Africa starting later this month.
Rajitha played the last of his 18 tests against Bangladesh in March and the 31-year-old was left out of the squad that beat New Zealand 2-0 in spin-friendly home conditions in September. Embuldeniya is in line to play his first test since July 2022 after being drafted into the 17-member squad led by Dhananjaya de Silva.
Prabath Jayasuriya, player of the series against New Zealand, will lead a Sri Lanka spin attack which also includes off-spinner Nishan Peiris, who took nine wickets in his debut test against the Black Caps.Sri Lanka are third in the World Test Championship standings behind Australia and India and need to win three of their remaining four matches, including two on home soil against Australia next year, to make the final.
