Sri Lanka have named all-rounder Thisara Perera as their captain ahead of their three-match ODI series against India. Perera, who takes over the reins from Upul Tharanga, is also expected to lead the visitors in the three T20 internationals scheduled after the ODIs. The Sri Lankans have also seen their captaincy change hands three times already as Thisara Perera takes over after Tharanga, who took over from Angelo Mathews in July. Upul Tharanga and former captain Angelo Mathews (right) have not been successful as Sri Lankan captains. As reported by Cricbuzz, Angelo Mathews was in running to resume as captain against India but his prolonging injuries ruled him out.
