Dilshan to captain Sri Lanka on Zimbabwe tour

COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka have named Tillkaratne Dilshan as captain after deciding to rest several senior players for their tri-series in Zimbabwe in June.
Normal captain Kumar Sangakkara, vice-captain Muttiah Muralitharan, former captain Mahela Jayawardene and fast bowler Lasith Malinga were all rested for the three-nation tournament.
All-rounder Angelo Mathews, 22, has been appointed as Dilshan's deputy as Sri Lanka seek to trial young players ahead of the 2011 World Cup. India will also take part in the tri-series.
Leg spinning all rounder Jeewan Mendis and batsman Dines Chandimal are the uncapped players in the squad.
