RAZZAK IN & EARLY STRIKES , TIGERS BOWL IN 2ND TEST SL-60/1

Bangladesh have sprung a big surprise as veteran left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak, who last played in February 2014, returns to the playing eleven. Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal won the toss and Sri Lanka have opted to bat, no big surprise there, in the second and final Test of two-Test series in Dhaka on Thursday.

Akila Dananjaya makes his debut while Lakshan Sandakan has been left out. Lahiru Kumara also has been excluded to make way for an extra batsman - Danushka Gunathilaka. Sabbir Rahman has also been included. Mosaddek Hossain and Sunzamul Islam have been left out. Suranga Lakmal and Mustafizur Rahman are the lone pacers for their respective teams. With plenty of spin options on either side, over rate isn't going to be an issue in this game.

Sabbir Rahman came in for Mosaddek Hossain in only other change of Bangladesh squad.

Sri Lanka handed Akila Dananjaya a Test debut for Lakshan Sandakan and bolstered their batting by bringing in Danushka Gunathilaka for pace bowler Lahiru Kumara.

Veteran spinner Abdur Razzak bagged his first Test wicket after four years in the wilderness as Tigers removed Lankan opener Dimuth Karunaratne.

The left-arm spinner completely bamboozled Karunaratne in the first delivery of the sixth over, beating him for flight as the left-hander tried to counter the drift on the delivery by stepping out and attempting a flick towards the the on-side. Karunatrne was deceived by the flight as the ball made it through to Liton Das through the legs of the batsman and Liton did not wait around to take the bails off as Razzak makes an impact in his return to Test cricket.

Bangladesh: Mahmudullah Riyad (capt), Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim, Liton Das, Sabbir Rahman, Mehedi Hasan, Taijul Islam, Mustafizur Rahman, Abdur Razzak.
