The squad has several  changes from the one in the World Cup: middle-order batsman Thilina Kandamby and wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal have been recalled while there is no place for Thilan Samaraweera, Chamara Kapugedera and Rangana Herath.  There was recent speculation over the possible inclusion of Jayasuriya,  who turns 42 in June, following the thumb injury sustained by captain  and opener Tillakaratne Dilshan in the second Test against England that  has put him in doubt <a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-sri-lanka-2011/content/current/story/518086.html" target="_blank">http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-sri-lanka-2011/content/current/story/518086.html</a>  for the third Test, though he has been named in the limited-overs  squad. Dilshan's injury means that Sri Lanka could be without their two  first-choice openers for the initial one-day games against England as  Upul Tharanga has been ruled out<a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-sri-lanka-2011/content/story/518304.html" target="_blank">http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-sri-lanka-2011/content/story/518304.html</a> of the tour as he prepares to face a disciplinary committee for failing a drugs test during the World Cup.    Jayasuriya retired from Tests in 2007 but continued to play in  limited-overs cricket. He last played in an ODI for Sri Lanka in 2009  and was left out<a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/srilanka/content/story/467227.html" target="_blank">http://www.espncricinfo.com/srilanka/content/story/467227.html</a>  of the list of 20 players who were offered central contracts by Sri  Lanka Cricket in 2010. Though he was named in the provisional squad of  30 for the 2011 World Cup, he did not make the final 15.    Kandamby - named vice-captain of the limited-overs squad ahead of former  captain Kumar Sangakkara, who is Dilshan's deputy in the ongoing Test  series in England - was not part of the World Cup squad and last played  an ODI for Sri Lanka in 2010. He averages close to 33 in the 33 ODI  games he has played. Sri Lanka have also included allrounder Jeewan  Mendis and wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Chandimal. This means they could  have a new-look middle order as Samaraweera, Kapugedera and Chamara  Silva, who were part of Sri Lanka's World Cup squad, have been dropped.   Sri Lanka have also included left-hand opening batsman Dimuth  Karunaratne. The 23-year old has been part of the Sri Lanka Under-19 and  Sri Lanka A squads and has been in good form in the domestic season.  Fast bowler Suranga Lakmal, currently part of the Test squad, finds a  place in the limited-overs squad but left-arm spinner Rangana Herath,  who featured in the World Cup squad, has been dropped.   Allrounder Angelo Mathews, who missed the World Cup final due to a  quadriceps muscle injury and was subsequently ruled out of the IPL and  the England Tests, has been provisionally included in the 16-man squad,  subject to his fitness.    Sri Lanka play a one-off Twenty20 game against England on June 25. The  five-match ODI series begins on June 28 and they then travel to Scotland  for two ODIs against the hosts on July 11 and 13.    Limited-overs squad: Tillakaratne Dilshan (capt), Thilina  Kandamby (vice-capt), Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardena, Dinesh  Chandimal, Jeevan Mendis, Dimuth Karunaratne, Thissara Perera, Lasith  Malinga, Nuwan Kulasekera, Suranga Lakmal, Dilhara Fernando, Suraj  Randiv, Ajantha Mendis Angelo Mathews, Sanath Jayasuriya.
