Experienced batsman Upul Tharanga has been recalled for the fifth one-day international against Australia after captain Angelo Mathews was ruled out of the rest of the tour with a calf injury.
Sri Lanka also included batsman Niroshan Dickwella and allrounder Dasun Shanaka in its 16-man squad for Sunday’s match.
Spin bowler Lakshan Sandakan and allrounder Thisara Perera were left out.
Usually an opening batsman, Tharanga had not been able to hold a regular spot in the team but returned relatively good performances batting at No.7 during Sri Lanka’s recent tour of England.
Australia has already secured the series 3-1. (The Hindu)

Well said! ..like bolting the stable after horse has fled. Selectors will still come up with a sober excuse for climbing the kitul tree.

Matthews is being replaced with Upul Tharanga? He can't field..he can't bowl! What's wrong with these selectors?

Tharanga should have been in from the start if the series. I think Jayasuriya needs to go.
