No place for Vandersay in Sri Lanka squad

There is still no place for uncapped leg spinner Jeffery Vandersay in the Sri Lanka Test squad picked for the series against India the first of which starts at the Galle International cricket stadium on August 12.

Vandersay turned into a sensation when he took eight scalps in a three-day game against Pakistan but was only thrown into the slam-bang T20 side.

Sri Lankan spinners who played in the lost three-Test series against Pakistan struggled for wickets including the aging veteran Rangana Herath.

Sri Lanka squad: Angelo Mathews (Captain), Lahiru Thirimanna (Vice Captain), Kaushal Silva, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kumar Sangakkara, Dinesh Chandimal, Upul Tharanga, Jehan Mubarak, Kusal Janith Perera, Rangana Herath, Dilruwan Perera, Tharindu Kaushal, Nuwan Pradeep, Dammika Prasad, Vishwa Fernando, Dushmantha Chameera (subject to fitness)
