Angelo Mathews missed the Test series against the Engalnd due to injury, but eased his way back to some form in the subsequent limited overs matches to show why he was charged with vice-captain before his 24 years. Explosive with the bat and intelligent with the ball, he played a key role in the lifting of Sri Lanka to a memorable victory over Australia ODI at the MCG last year and would like to repeat the dose at home.
Steve O'Keefe, as the Captain White, is only in Sri Lanka in T20 matches and are eager to show he should have been allowed to stay. Curiously, his first album bowling class is much better than any of his spin bowling rival in Australia, but so far the national electorate has refused to use it more. O'Keefe has made no secret of his desire to press for a greater glory, and it can make a fresh start by making carefully here for back-up of 3-29 he went on his debut T20 for the Australia against Pakistan in 2010.
Team news

Tillakaratne Dilshan is not to underestimate the Aussies
