England vs Sri Lanka ODI series 2016: The combined XI

#11 Nuwan Pradeep

Pradeep was by far the best bowler for Sri Lanka in the Test Series, and had it not been for a close no-ball, he might have won the final match for his team.

"It was disappointing that Nuwan Pradeep bowled so damn well and had such bad luck," Graham Ford, the Sri Lankan coach said after the Lords test match. "If ever a guy deserved to get a five-wicket haul at Lord's, it was him. It's sad for him in many ways."

He would now want to replicate his form with the white ball and playing at Trent Bridge will give him a good opportunity to make early in-roads into the English batting order.
