COLOMBO (Reuters) - Uncapped opener Udara Jayasundera's consistency for the emerging team earned him a place in Sri Lanka's 15-member test squad for the two-match series in New Zealand next month.

Rookie leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay was also rewarded for his impressive performance for the Sri Lankan emerging team but there was no place for opener Kaushal Silva and off-spinner Tharindu Kaushal.
