Sri Lanka have recalled veteran batsman Sanath Jayasuriya for their forthcoming limited overs series against England.
The 41-year-old's career was thought to be over when he was left out of the World Cup squad earlier this year.
But he is now in line to feature in a tour which consists of one Twenty20 and five one-day internationals.
Opener Upul Tharanga is unavailable as he prepares to face a disciplinary panel following reports that he failed a drugs test during the World Cup.
Captain Tillakaratne Dilshan is a fitness doubt and must sit out the final match of the Test series with a fractured thumb, but he is in the 16-man squad as expected.
While predecessor Kumar Sangakkara will lead the side in the third Test at the Rose Bowl, left-hander Thilina Kandamby has been installed as Dilshan's one-day understudy.
All-rounder Angelo Mathews will travel subject to fitness, while the side will be buoyed by the return of world-class paceman Lasith Malinga, who has retired from Tests.
Test players Thilan Samaraweera, Farveez Maharoof, Chanaka Welagedara and Tharanga Paranavitana have not been asked to stay on for the limited-overs matches.
The limited-over series begins on 25 June with a Twenty20 match and ends on 9 July with the fifth one-day international.
Sri Lanka one-day squad: T Dilshan, T Kandamby, K Sangakkara, M Jayawardene, D Chandimal, J Mendis, D Karunaratne, T Perera, Malinga, N Kulasekera, S Lakmal, D Fernando, S Randiv, A Mendis, A Mathews, S Jayasuriya.
