Priyanjan was drafted in as cover for the absent Mahela Jayawardene for the third ODI in Hambantota on Wednesday and retains his place ahead of Sunday's match in Colombo and the first of two in Kandy on Wednesday.

Jaywardene returns to the fold for Sunday, with Sri Lanka bidding to extend their 2-1 lead in the series.

They will do so without Thilina Kandamby, who drops out after a second-ball duck on Wednesday, while seamer Shaminda Eranga has also been left out.

Pace bowler Suranga Lakmal is back, and uncapped 23-year-old left-arm wrist spinner Lakshan Sandakan is also given an opportunity.

The seven-match series continues with a second match in Kandy before a return to Colombo.
