Sri Lanka recalls Atapattu

SRI Lanka has recalled former captain Marvan Atapattu for the Test series with Bangladesh which starts this month.

Atapattu, 36, last played Test cricket against India in 2005, before he was sidelined for 18 months with a serious back injury.

The right-handed batsman, a veteran of 88 Tests, returns in place of Sanath Jayasuriya, who retired from the Test scene after this year's World Cup.
