Murali named for England series

Muttiah Muralitharan has been included in Sri Lanka’s squad for their five one-day internationals against England in October.

Muralitharan missed the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa with a biceps injury, and will have his fitness monitored over the coming weeks to ensure he can play in the series.

There are inclusions in the squad for Gayan Wijekoon and Dilruwan Perera who have yet to make their one-day international debuts.
