Five new players in Sri Lanka team for Chinese Taipei

Police lock forward Pradeep Wilson was a last minute inclusion in the Sri Lanka rugby team which left for Chinese Taipei yesterday to take part in the Asian Five Nations Rugby Tournament from November 12 to 15, 2008.

Sports and Public Recreation Minister Gamini Lokuge who was first reluctant to approve Wilson's name finally gave his consent for his inclusion in the squad and also appointed Roshan Deen as the manager and national selector Chaminda Rupasinghe as the tour selector.

Wilson's presence will see the shifting of CR and FC's Ashen Karthelis who will move to the third row to replace Kandy SC's Seen Wijesinghe who has withdrawn from the team due to medical reasons.

The Sports Minister also approved the names of CR and FC full back Roza Mubarak, CH and FC centre Shane Dissanayake and Sri Lanka youth players Bilal Hassen (Royal) and Sajith Saranga (Isipathana) who have been brought into the team as replacement for four Kandy SC players who withdrew from the squad Sinjeewa Jayasinghe, Radhika Hettiarachci, Anuranga Walpola and Pradeep Liyanage.'

Jayasinghe and Hettiarachchi withdrew from the squad in protest over the exclusion of Kandy SC No. 8 Imran Bisthamin and for appointing Dushanth Lewke of CR and FC as the captain while Liyanage, Walpola and Wijesinghe pulled out from the squad as they had not fully recovered from their injuries.

Dushanth Luwke will lead the Sri Lanka team against Chinese Taipei in the first match on November 12 while CH and FC flanker Dilantha Wijesekera will captain in the second game against either China or Singapore on November 15.
