[Deep Dey]

Stand-by Players for Sri Lanka: Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Akila Dananjaya, Ajantha Mendis

Opener Dimuth Karunaratne has been named in Sri Lanka's squad to Australia for three Tests, the first of which begins in Hobart on December 14. Fast bowler Nuwan Pradeep also finds a place in the squad, but 19-year-old offspinner Tharindu Kaushal, who is with the team for the ongoing home series against New Zealand, has not been named. Pradeep is the only addition to the squad for the New Zealand Tests, and is one of five quick bowlers in the 16-man party to Australia.

Pradeep has played three Tests for Sri Lanka, two of which were in July against Pakistan. Shaminda Eranga, who came back from an injury layoff in Galle to take three wickets in the New Zealand first innings, has retained his place, as has Nuwan Kulasekara. Chanaka Welegedara and Dhammika Prasad are the other seam bowlers, while Rangana Herath and Suraj Randiv will provide the spin options.

Fast-bowling allrounder Thisara Perera has not been named. He took four wickets and made 75 in the last Test he played in July. He had also bowled well in Australia in an ODI tri-series earlier in the year. Lahiru Thirimanne, who bats in the middle order in limited-overs cricket, also misses out. Both men are on standby, alongside allrounder Jeevan Mendis, and spinners Akila Dananjaya and Ajantha Mendis.

KHWAJA IS THE 3RD LEADING RUN SCORER IN SHEFIELD SHIELD THIS YEAR

[Mad max]

@SAI

KHWAJA IS THE 3RD LEADING RUN SCORER IN SHEFIELD SHIELD THIS YEAR

No chance for him

because There is ALEX DOOLAN infront of him

If Khawaja was there in chance he could have been picked for Saffers practice match

Doolan scored 161 against Dasty,Philander,Morne...

and more over Khawaja doest play at 4

if i am right and inverarity's brain is workng correctly

They will get in HUGHES as opener and Doolan at 4

if Doolan scores he will be in MAIN XI IN NEXT MATCH VS LANKANS AT HOBART

IF Khawaja scores he will be in MAIN XI

and if both of them score ...no wonder if Inverarity Kick out Hughes and get in Khawaja as opener and Doolan at 4

[Deep Dey]

Lankan Coach Graham Ford admits that His side is not well prepared for Australia series.

"I was hoping that we would have a very good Test series against New Zealand which would be a fantastic way of preparing for the Australia series particularly as they have a useful seam outfit," Ford said.

"If we could pass the test against this seam bowling we would know we were in quite a good position to take on Australia. Unfortunately we didn't really pass the test with flying colours although there were quite a few batsmen that showed some decent form.

"I was hoping for a lot better than that but there were signs that we were starting to find our feet against pace, but what we are really gaining out of it (we had a chat about it as well) was that we now realise that we are not quite ready for the Australians. Once we get there the work that we do is going to be very intense. We are going to have to practise outside our comfort zone so that we are ready for what they are going to throw at us."
