Written by Vimukhti

Off spinner Diruwan Perera has been included in the ODI squad against Bangladesh for the remaining two matches, as a replacement of injured Niroshan Dickwela.

A classical off spinner, Dilruwan has played 10 ODIs for Sri Lanka, in which he picked 11 wickets. Known for his tight line and length, Dilruwan has been a permanent member of the Sri Lanka test team, forms a deadly combo with Rangana Herath.

He last played ODI  against Australia in 2014. as Bangladesh features many left handers in their playing XI, inclusion of Dilruwan seems a wise move. the second match of the series will be played tomorrow, at Dambulla.
