All-rounder Tilan Samaraweera is expected to be named as captain of the Sri Lanka A team for next month's three-match unofficial Test series against Pakistan A.
Samaraweera has represented Sri Lanka in seven One-Day Internationals and last year led Sri Lanka A to series victories in both unofficial Test and One-Day Internationals against Zimbabwe A at home.
Pakistan A arrive on June 10 and open their six-match tour with the first unofficial Test against Sri Lanka A at the NCC grounds on June 13.
A 27-man squad is presently in training preparing to receive Pakistan A. Two two-day practice matches among the squad players will be played next week. The Sri Lanka A squad will also be pitted against the national squad in a few one-day practice games.
The national squad is preparing to receive New Zealand and India initially in a one-day triangular series starting on July 18 and later meets India in a series of three Tests.
