Sri Lanka vs England 1st Test Preview: Undercooked visitors rely on pace to counter Galle's spinning conditions
England missing key players
Given the new normal in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic, England's touring party is already without Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer to allow them to have proper rest and not be marred by bubble fatigue in the lead-up to England's much anticipated tour of India, just after the Sri Lanka series.
England's permanent opener Rory Burns is on paternity leave and will miss the series. To add to their woes, Moeen Ali tested positive for COVID-19 upon landing in Sri Lanka and his quarantine has been extended till Friday, which will surely keep him out of the first test match. The same applies for Chris Woakes as well.
Hence, even before the first ball of the series has been bowled, England have already been depleted.
Hosts favourites despite South Africa pasting
Sri Lanka went through a nightmare during their recent two-match test tour of South Africa where they not only lost by massive margins but also lost several of their players to injury. The good news for them though is that Angelo Mathews, who injured his hamstring in the semi-final of the Lanka Premier League and Dinesh Chandimal, who was injured in South Africa, will be part of Sri Lanka playing XI.
Kusal Mendis, who had a horrid tour of South Africa, is likely to make way for the incoming batsmen while Lahiru Thirimanne is expected to retain his spot.
After an injury to spin bowling all-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva, pace bowling all-rounder Dasun Shanaka, who had some serious workload in South Africa, is expected to keep his spot as well. Suranga Lakmal was not able to take part in the series in South Africa due to a hamstring injury and is also likely to be available.
Sri Lanka are likely to go with three spin bowlers in the seasoned off spinner Dilruwan Perera, slow left-arm orthodox Lasith Embuldeniya and right-arm wrist spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, who is quite handy with the bat as well.
