Sri Lanka have recalled wicketkeeper-batsman Kusal Perera for the two-Test series at home to England this month - despite him nursing a finger injury.
Perera was dropped for the 1-0 win in Zimbabwe in January after struggling for runs in the drawn home series against New Zealand and not playing during the 1-0 loss in Pakistan.
The 29-year-old is unlikely to be fit for the first Test against England in Galle from March 19 - live on Sky Sports Cricket - but could return for the second in Colombo from March 27.
"Kusal's finger is a minor bone disorder," said Sri Lanka team manager Asantha de Mel. "It didn't hurt the bone."
Perera was injured during a recent T20I against West Indies, in the same game spinning all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga tore his hamstring.
Hasaranga has been named in Sri Lanka's 16-man squad but will miss the series and be replaced at a later date.
"The disability of Wanidu's thigh is quite big," added De Mel. "As a result, the doctors have advised him to rest for six weeks."
Batsman Lahiru Thirimanne has been dropped from the squad after playing the last of his 35 Tests in August 2019, against New Zealand.
Sri Lanka suffered a 3-0 home series whitewash to England in late 2018.
Sri Lanka squad for England series: Dimuth Karunaratne (captain), Oshada Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya De Silva, Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Dilruwan Perera, Lasith Embuldeniya, Lahiru Kumara, Vishwa Fernando, Kasun Rajitha, Lakshan Sandakan, Suranga Lakmal, Wanindu Hasaranga*
