Fresh from 2-0 thumping over Pakistan recently, a confident Sri Lanka has the potential to challenge the India on their home soil. Sri Lanka is yet to win a test match in India, though they have played 16 matches so far. Team management has hinted that like India, they too will play three fast bowlers on a greenish Eden Garden pitch at Kolkata, starting from tomorrow.
Additionally, Under-perforoming Lahiru Thirimane is likely to get another chance to prove himself at number three, that means inform batsman Dhananjaya De Silva will have to sit for the first test.

Lahiru Thirimane
Angelo Mathews
Dinesh Chandimal (Capt.)
Niroshan Dickwela (Wk)
