ESPNCricinfo: Sri Lanka have rested Mahela Jayawardene and Rangana Herath from the three-ODI series against Bangladesh, which

follows the two Twenty20 internationals later this month. They also left out batsmen Dimuth Karunaratne and Lahiru Thirimanne from the one-day squad that played Pakistan in the UAE, and brought in spinning allrounder Angelo Perera, who made 244 off 204 balls in his most recent first-class game. Mahela had also missed the limited-overs games in the UAE in December last year because he was on paternal leave. Both Mahela and Herath will play in the two Twenty internationals that precede the ODIs, though, as Sri Lanka gear up for the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh in March. Angelo Perera was also included in the T20 squad, while the players to miss out from the squad that travelled to UAE were Ramith Rambukwella, Thirimanne and Kithuruwan Vithanage.
