COLOMBO:
Sri Lanka Cricket appointed Tillekaratne Dilshan as captain for Australia’s visit next month, but did not name a deputy. Dilshan will lead in the three Tests, five One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and two Twenty20s. However, Sri Lanka selectors left out batsman Thilina Kandamby, the vice-captain in the ODI series against England, from the pool of 20 players.
