Sri Lanka have dropped veteran batsman Sanath Jayasuriya from their squad to tour the West Indies next month, raising doubts about his international career.
The 38 year old quit Test cricket in December during the series against England.
He managed a total of 46 runs in four games of the triangular One-Day Series in Australia.
Upul Tharanga, has also been left out, while left-arm seamer Thilina Thushara and slow left-armer Rangana Herath are handed recalls.
Sri Lanka will play two Tests and three One-Day Internationals, with the first Test in Guyana starting on March 22.
