Had a great performance against England

Fernando took part in two of the three Tests played between England and Sri Lanka. He took seven wickets at an average of 29.29. The 33-year-old Fernando was not included in the first Test against New Zealand. In the first match, Lahiru Kumara and Asitha Fernando were the two key fast bowlers who were selected in the playing XI. The first Test was played at the Galle International Stadium and Sri Lanka won by defeating the spirited New Zealand team by 63 runs. The second and final Test match will also be played at the same ground, starting on Thursday, September 26.

Difficult to find a place in the playing eleven

27-year-old Nishan Peiris was in the Sri Lankan squad for the Bangladesh tour, but did not get a chance to debut. Nishan Peiris has played 41 first-class matches and has taken 172 wickets at an average of 24.37 and a strike rate of 42.60 and has also taken five wickets 12 times. The Negombo-born player has taken 86 wickets in 61 matches in List A cricket and 43 wickets in 39 matches in T20. However, it will be difficult for Nishan Peiris to make it to the playing XI.
