Tillakaratne Dilshan resigned as Sri Lanka captain from all three formats; the country's new selection panel selected former captain Mahela Jayawardene in his place to lead the ODI squad to Australia for the tri-series in February concerning the hosts and India. Angelo Mathews remains the vice-captain of the 15-member squad which also includes Dilshan.
Jayawardene was ODI captain from 2004 till 2009. He resigned in 2009, saying he wanted his successor to have enough time to build the team for the 2011 World Cup. Kumar Sangakkara took over from Jayawardene but stepped down after leading Sri Lanka to the final of the World Cup. Dilshan led Sri Lanka for nine months after the World Cup, but resigned on Monday following series defeats in both Tests and ODIs in all his four assignments.
Jayawardene has led Sri Lanka in 97 ODIs, winning 57 and losing 35. Farveez Maharoof, the bowling allrounder, and Chanaka Welegedara, the fast bowler, were recalled after having last played an ODI for Sri Lanka back in June 2010. The duo was the only changes from the squad for the recent ODI series in South Africa, in place of Kosala Kulasekara and Dilhara Fernando.
