Sri Lanka will send a young team to participate in the Moin-Ud-Dowla
Gold Cup cricket tournament in Hyderabad from September 1 to 15. The
tour will be part of Sri Lanka's preparations to have a strong team
ready for the next World Cup, which will be held in England in 2019.
"The need to bring in young blood into the side nobody is going to deny that it is a must," Kapila Wijegunawardene, the SLC's chief selector, said. "When the next World Cup comes around four years from today, there has to be youngsters inducted into the team and nurtured and developed to be the leading players, that process we will systematically do.
"We have a very busy calendar leading up to July next year. We clearly want to make those adjustments in the side as we go forward. As a precursor to what our line of thinking is, we have inducted five young players into the T20 side for the two internationals against Pakistan commencing on Thursday.
