Sri Lankan selectors on Saturday named a 16-man squad for the Twenty20 games against Australia next month.
The teams will play two Twenty20 games on August 6 and 8 at the newly-built Pallakelle International Stadium in the central town of Kandy, which will also host the opening one-dayer and the second Test match.
