Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella has returned to Sri Lanka’s Test squad for the upcoming two-match series against India.
Dickwella’s recall marks a significant comeback after being away from the Test setup, giving him another chance to impress on the international stage.
His wicketkeeping experience and aggressive batting approach could provide Sri Lanka with valuable depth against a strong Indian Test side.
Dickwella’s return comes as Kusal Mendis has been ruled out, making his experience even more important for Sri Lanka’s squad.
Sri Lanka will face India in a two-Test series, with the first Test scheduled to begin on August 15 in Galle.
