Sri Lanka selectors have named uncapped all-rounder Isuru Udana in a 15-man squad today for next month\'s Twenty20 World Cup in England.
The tournament will be the first tour since the team came under a terrorist attack in Pakistan while playing in a test series in March.
Kumar Sangakkara will lead the Sri Lanka team for the first time as captain in England, which is hosting the Twenty20 World Cup from June 5 to 21.
Meanwhile, Pakistan selectors have included uncapped players Shahzaib Hassan and Mohammad Aamir in their 15-man squad.
Selectors kept faith with struggling fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, who could not complete his quota of 10 overs in any of the four one-day international matches against Australia in the United Arab Emirates.
Pakistan packed their team with five noted all-rounders -- Fawad Alam, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Sohail Tanvir and Yasir Arafat.
The squad also included off-spinner Saeed Ajmal, who has been reported for a suspect bowling action during the one-day series against Australia.
Pakistan lost the final against India in the inaugural Twenty20 event in South Africa two years ago.
