COLOMBO (Reuters) - Batsmen Niroshan Dickwella and Asela Gunaratne have been rewarded for their recent limited-overs success with spots in Sri Lanka's test squad for the two-match series against Bangladesh, starting next week.

The 23-year-old Dickwella played the last of his four tests in July, 2014, in New Zealand and the opener who can also keep has scored heavily in the domestic circuit as well.
