Fast bowler Shaminda Eranga has been added to Sri Lanka's squad for May's ODI series against Ireland.
Eranga has replaced all-rounder Thisara Perera, who failed to gain a visa for the brief trip to Dublin.
Perera, however, is expected to join the squad for this month's one-off Twenty20 International and five ODIs against England.
Right-armer Eranga has taken 16 wickets in 13 ODIs, including a career-best three for 46 against the West Indies in Port of Spain in July 2013.
The tourists have rested five senior players – batsmen Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, spinner Rangana Herath and fast bowler Lasith Malinga – for twin fixtures against the Irish, which will be played at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground on Tuesday and Thursday.
