The two-Test series remained locked at 0-0 after the first match ended in a draw in Chittagong on Sunday. Last month, the 30-year-old was announced as Sri Lanka's limited-overs captain till the 2019 World Cup. Chairman of selectors Graeme Labrooy told a cricket-specific website that Mathews will not take part in the series. Test captain Dinesh Chandimal, who took over the captaincy from Mathews half-way through the tri-nation series in Bangladesh, will lead the team in the two games.
