C.A.Walsh RF

Sri Lankan Board XI named an unchanged lineup, while West Indies made a couple of changes to their pace attack, bringing in Bishop for the injured Marshall, and Walsh for Winston Benjamin.
Suffering from a bad run with injuries, West Indies A were unable to consider J.R.Murray, M.D.Marshall, K.C.G.Benjamin, and B.P.Patterson for this match, though all bar Marshall should be fit for the next one.
West Indies A appear too strong in this one if the 50 over match is anything to go by, though with West Indies losing their first 20 over match on tour another win for the home team may not surprise.
