Chandana returns from injury to face England
Sa'adi Thafeeq - 15 March 2001

Sri Lanka one-day specialist all-rounder Upul Chandana will play his first game after suffering six fractures in his right index finger when he was named in the Sri Lanka Board Presidents's team to play the touring England cricketers in a one-day warm-up match at the ARY grounds in Colombo on March 21.

Chandana was struck a blow on the hand during batting practice in South Africa by a net bowler early this year and has not played any cricket since.

Sri Lanka Test batsman Russel Arnold will lead the side in the match which will be England's last before they take on Sri Lanka in a series of three One-Day Internationals beginning at Dambulla on March 23.

The Board President's team: Russel Arnold (captain), Romesh Kaluwitharana (wk), Avishka Gunawardana, Lanka de Silva, Indika de Saram, Tillekeratne Dilshan, Upul Chandana, Tilan Samaraweera, Pasan Wanasinghe, Dinusha Fernando, Sujeeva Silva, Jehan Mubarak, Akalanka Ganegama, Chamara Silva.
