Atapattu has opted out of this series.

Geez Jayasuriya still going strong at 37 thought he would have retired by now.
Both teams are pretty much full strength not too many new faces that I can see. The ODI will be the interesting one, Bangladesh usual spin advantage that they have will be negated against SL.
