5 players who should be axed from the Sri Lankan ODI side

Australia v Sri Lanka - 2nd T20
Milinda Siriwardana

Among batsmen who have played at least 10 times this year, Milinda Siriwardana has the 2nd worst average (Chadimal's is the worst) of 18.45 and has scored only 1 fifty so far. His strike rate of 84.58 is immaterial since he simply doesn't stay at the crease long enough.

On the other hand, Siriwardana's part-time bowling isn't too much to write home about either. He has failed to take a wicket in the last seven matches he has gotten to bowl. In the series against Pakistan, he played in all five games and averaged a dismal 4.8. It really won't be a surprise if the team management and the Sri Lankan selectors decide to dump him.
