Former captain Angelo Mathews has been dropped from the Sri Lanka one-day squad but has been named in the party for the Tests against England.

The all-rounder, 31, was sacked as ODI skipper on Sunday after Sri Lanka's exit from the Asia Cup.

Dinesh Chandimal will lead Sri Lanka in five ODIs against England, which begin on 10 October and are followed by a Twenty20 international.

The first of three Tests begins in Galle on 6 November.

Opener Kaushal Silva and left-arm spinner Malinda Pushpakumara have been recalled to the Test squad.

Pushpakumara is one of five spinners in the 16-strong group.
