Colombo: Sri Lanka pace spearhead Lasith Malinga, who has recovered fully from knee injury he suffered last month, has been recalled in the 15-man T20 squad for the three-match series against Australia beginning February 17 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The 33-year-old, who has appeared in 191 ODIs and 62 T20Is for Sri Lanka, played his last match in the Asia Cup held in Bangladesh in February 2016 and could not make his way back into the team because of various medical reasons.
Allrounders Dasun Shanaka and Milinda Siriwardana, and batsmen Dilshan Munaweera and Chamara Kapugedara have also been included in the national side after being dropped against South Africa.
Upul Tharanga, who is currently leading Sri Lanka in the ongoing ODIs against South Africa, will lead the team in absence of regular captain Angelo Mathews, who was unavailable for selection due to an injury.
Meanwhile, Dinesh Chandimal, who led Sri Lanka to a 2-1 win in the three-match T20 series against South Africa, has been left out of the squad against the Steve Smith-led side.
