3. Alzzari Joseph

The star West Indies bowler has been their premier bowler for a long time now and will be very important against Sri Lanka as well. The fast bowler has a cool head and can think on his feet in tough situations. However, the slow conditions at the venue can pose a challenge for the young pacer.

2. Wanindu Hasaranga 

The star Sri Lankan all-rounder has been prone to many injuries of late but now that he is fit to return to the team, he will want to make the most of it. Wanindu Hasaranga was last seen in the Caribbean Premier League where he picked eight wickets in four matches.

1. Maheesh Theekshan 

Sri Lanka has become reliant on Maheesh Theekshan to get them out of crunch situations in recent times. He will be a key to their win in the upcoming series against the Windies as well. The spinning conditions in Dambulla will give him an added edge as well.
