Sri Lanka's permanent ODI captain Angelo Mathews has returned to his regular slot as Sri Lanka has announced the ODI squad for the series against South Africa. 

Dhanushka Gunathilake has not been included in the ODI team as he is currently facing a ban from the SLC over disciplinary issues. 

Dhananjaya de Silva, a regular member of the Test team, has been re-included in the ODI team to strengthen the middle order. 

Prabhath Jayasooriya, 27 year old spinner from Kandy, is the only newcomer to the Sri Lankan squad. 

He represented the Central Province in the recently concluded domestic cricket tournament in Sri Lanka.
