Chaminda Vaas will take the new ball and is certain to play.Dilhara Fernando and Suresh Perera are considered better bowlers with theold ball and may only play if Sri Lanka plays three fast bowlers, which islikely against India.Kehelgamuwa, however, has still not ruled out last minute changes to the15-man squad. A final decision has to be made on Wednesday morning.
