Dananjaya among four changes in Sri Lanka World T20 crew

COLOMBO: Sri Lanka have added spinner Akila Dananjaya, player Pathum Nissanka, and seamers Lahiru Kumara and Binura Fernando to their reexamined 15-man crew for the Twenty20 World Cup, the nation's cricket board said on Sunday. 

The group of four supplanted all-rounders Lahiru Madus­hanka and Kamindu Men­dis, spinner Praveen Jayaw­ic­krama and veteran quick bow­ler Nuwan Pradeep. Mad­ushanka passed up a great opportunity subsequent to breaking his collarbone during the T20 International series against South Africa. 

Center request player Kusal Perera, who was a significant uncertainty because of a hamstring injury, made the finished product. 

Sri Lanka, drove by Dasun Shanaka, take on Namibia in their competition opener in Abu Dhabi on Oct 18. 

Updated crew: Dasun Shanaka (skipper), Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, Dhananjaya de Silva, Pathum Nissanka, Charith Asalanka, Avishka Fernando, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Chamika Karunaratne, Wanindu Hasaranga, Dushmantha Chameera, Lahiru Kumara, Maheesh Theekshana, Akila Dananjaya, Binura Fernando.
