Sri Lanka on Saturday announced a 15-man squad for the upcoming T20 series against Pakistan, with Thisara Perera leading the side.

Sri Lanka's limited-overs captain Upul Tharanga will not be a part of the squad since he refused to play the third T20 of the series, which is to be held in Lahore.

Suranga Lakmal, Dinesh Chandimal and Lasith Malinga also refused to play in Lahore and, therefore, have been excluded from the squad.

Sri Lanka Cricket had also reduced Danushka Gunathilaka's punishment for disciplinary violation from six to three matches anticipating refusal by the senior players.

Tickets for the final T20 in Lahore have gone on sale. Sri Lanka whitewashed Pakistan in the Test series while Pakistan has thrashed Sri Lanka to claim the ODI series.

Sri Lanka squad: Thisara Perera (captain), Dilshan Munaweera, Danushka Gunathilaka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Ashan Priyanjan, Mahela Udawatte, Dasun Shanaka, Sachith Pathirana, Vikum Sanjaya, Lahiru Gamage, Seekkuge Prasanna, Vishwa Fernando, Isuru Udana, Jeffrey Vandersay and Chathuranga de Silva.
