ODI World Cup: Sri Lanka have announced their 17-member squad, to be captained by veteran all-rounder Chamari Athapaththu, for their upcoming ODI tri-series against India and South Africa, set to take place from April 27 to May 11 in Colombo.

Sri Lanka last played an ODI series earlier this year – where they suffered a 2-0 ODI series loss in New Zealand. From that touring party in New Zealand, Sri Lanka have made as many as eight changes to its squad for the upcoming tri-series.

Medium pacer Malki Madara has received a maiden call-up to the ODI squad, after shining on debut in the T20I series in New Zealand by helping Sri Lanka clinch their solitary win on the tour with figures of 3-14.
