Maverick pacer Lasith Malinga and all-rounder Farveez Maharoof are among Sri Lanka's 30 probables for the September-slated Champions Trophy in Pakistan.
Both Malinga and Maharoof had missed the recently-concluded Asia Cup in Pakistan due to injuries. While the former is recovering from a knee injury that forced him to stay out of the inaugural Indian Premier League, the latter is recuperating from a side strain.

The squad also features players like left-arm seamers Sujeewa de Silva, Chanaka Welegedara and Gayan Wijekoon, who have represented the national team in the last year, although they are yet to make their debut in one-day internationals.
