De Silva returns, Oshada to open in first Pak Test


GALLE, Sri Lanka, July 15 (AFP): Sri Lanka's Dhananjaya de Silva will return to the team after recovering from Covid-19, skipper Dimuth Karunaratne said Friday ahead of the first Test against Pakistan.
The two-match series starts Saturday in Galle, where the hosts first lost to and then hammered Australia in recent weeks.
They will be bolstered by the return of de Silva, a batting all-rounder who was one of four players to get the virus before and during the second Test against Australia.
De Silva replaces Kamindu Mendis, who made an impressive 61 on debut in the previous match.
