Sri Lanka Uncapped player offspinner Nishan Peiris selected for New Zealand 2nd Test

Uncapped offspinner Nishan Peiris has been drafted into Sri Lanka's squad for the second and final Test against New Zealand after seamer Vishwa Fernando pulled up with an injury. "Vishwa Fernando had fostered a snugness in his right hamstring while at the same time rehearsing," SLC said in an explanation on Tuesday, adding that the quick bowler will go through recovery at the load up's elite presentation community. Vishwa didn't play in the principal Test against New Zealand, which Sri Lanka won by 63 runs, and with crease assuming a restricted part up to this point, it's impossible he would have ended up in the side come Thursday's subsequent Test. The 27-year-old Peiris, in the mean time, could have a remote possibility of making it into the playing XI. In spite of having made the Test crew two times before, back in 2018 and recently in Spring, he's yet to make his presentation. Be that as it may, with Ramesh Mendis' presentation coming in for analysis from captain Dhananjaya de Silva following the finish of the main Test, there is some uncertainty over his situation in the group. Mendis, whose plunge and turn can be hard to handle when he's at his best, snatched six wickets - three in every innings - in the primary Test, remembering the critical one of Daryl Mitchell for the subsequent innings. In any case, he frequently needed control, and his flawedness every now and again eased the heat off the New Zealand players. However his presentation in the subsequent innings was significantly better, his economy rate was as yet the least fortunate of Sri Lanka's spinners. Peiris has gotten 172 top of the line wickets across 41 matches at a normal of 24.37. He as of late shown up for Sri Lanka An in South Africa, where he got three wickets in the principal informal Test.
