Sri Lanka [Images] have called up uncapped paceman Dammika Prasad as an additional bowling option for the second Test against India in Galle starting on Thursday.
The 25-year-old played three one-day internationals in 2006 before suffering a series of injuries but has since impressed with the A team and recently against the Indians, claiming 4-58 in a warm-up game.
Prasad, however, is unlikely to play with Sri Lanka expected to retain the same side that won the first Test by an innings and 239 runs.
Sri Lanka squad: Mahela Jayawardene [Images] (captain), Michael Vandort, Malinda Warnapura, Kumar Sangakkara, Thilan Samaraweera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Prasanna Jayawardene, Chaminda Vaas [Images], Muttiah Muralitharan, Ajantha Mendis [Images], Nuwan Kulasekera, Chamara Silva, Thilan Thushara, Chamara Kapugedera, Dammika Prasad.
