Sri Lanka selects off-spin all-rounder Sahan Arachchige and batter Kamil Mishara for the second and final Test against India in Colombo, which starts on August 23. The move comes ahead of a match Sri Lanka regard as must-win.
The reports agree on the composition change and the timing, but they do not provide further detail on the selection rationale beyond the squad inclusions. With both players added to the Test squad, Sri Lanka aim to strengthen options in their bowling or batting units for the closing game of the series. None of the cited sources discusses India’s corresponding team changes or indicates whether either player is expected to debut.
Overall, the covered update centers on Sri Lanka’s squad drafting ahead of the decisive second Test, with the specific emphasis on bringing Arachchige and Mishara into the lineup.
