COLOMBO (Reuters) - Experienced batsman Mahela Jayawardene and left-arm spinner Rangana Herath will return for Sri Lanka's three-test series against Pakistan in UAE after skipping the ongoing one-day contests due to personal reasons.

The duo were named in a 16-man squad on Monday along with three uncapped test players.
