Maybe, but Vaas, Malinga and Fernando is one seriously short bowling line up

Actually all of them were fairly tall
Tell me you're short without telling me you're short
They are all short/very short for pace bowlers.

Dilhara Fernando was pretty tall
Rajitha, Lakmal and Zoysa would be the options for taller bowlers, but as bowlers they probably aren't better than Vaas, Malinga or A Fernando.
I honestly would be tempted to pick Zoysa in my XI (alongside Vaas and one of Malinga and A Fernando). I'd have him work a bit more on his batting and have him be more economical support bowler. The biggest advantage of having him in the team is the footmarks he'd create for Murali.

Vaas and Ratnayeke for me. All of the pacers except Vaas are mid, atleast Ratnayeke can bat.
Will need 3 seamers playing outside Asia. Herath isn't really an option in SENA type conditions and Mathews as a Test bowler is only good for taking the shine of the ball.

Like, it really doesn't matter. Will take Herath ahead of Malinga in any conditions, as the latter will suck anyways.

Just Vaas tbh. Why pick a useless seamer that is going to do **** all against an opposition ATG side anyway. If the bowling options are bad just go #batdeep and pick Vaas, Murali and a bunch of part-timers to make up the overs. Mathews, Samaraweera, Jayasuriya, de Silva, Dilshan etc.
Add Herath on turning tracks

I don't really think Ratnayeke is much worse than Malinga or Lakmal.

I'm saying don't pick any of them

I get it, but I atleast want someone atleast capable of getting the ball older for Murali without getting hit out of the park too much.

Like Vaas.

I mean, yeah. But sadly can't ball through both ends.
