Atapattu is a good talent. Has strokeplay like Rajapaksa.

Yeah, not going to make any real progress in the long term when sex fiends are in the coaching staff/selection panel.

Twelve English women's cricketers will travel to Sri Lanka next month to take part in an intensive 12-day batting and spin bowling development camp in Colombo and also play three one-day matches, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced today.

The players, who will arrive in Colombo on April 19, are taking part in the training camp to gain greater experience of playing in subcontinental conditions.

"The training camp is designed to challenge the players technically and mentally in difficult conditions on the subcontinent," an ECB statement said.

They will spend close to two weeks training and will also play three one-day matches against a Sri Lanka Women's A team.

"With the ICC World Twenty20 taking place in India in March 2016, the opportunity for this group of players to specifically focus on their bowling and batting against spin will be hugely beneficial in ensuring that they are well prepared to perform for England women in these conditions, should they be selected," Clare Connor, the head of England women’s cricket, said.

Chamari Atapattu will lead a 14-member Sri Lanka Women squad in their home series against West Indies. Allrounder Eshani Lokusuriyage will be her deputy for the four ODIs and three T20Is.

West Indies have not played 50-over cricket since November 2014, when they lost to Australia 0-4. Sri Lanka have their own concerns against rust - the last time they played was in January and were beaten 3-0 by Pakistan.

Sri Lanka lead West Indies in the head-to-head battle - 13 wins in 24 games - but they have lost seven of the last 10 matches. Their T20 record against West Indies is a little more clear cut - 12 losses in 15 games.

The last three ODIs on the tour will account towards the ICC Women's Championship, where West Indies are ranked fifth on the points table and Sri Lanka are at seventh.

Sri Lanka squad Chamari Attapattu (capt), Prasadini Weerakkody, Nipuni Hansika, Sanduni Abeywickrema, Dilani Manodara, Shashikala Siriwardene, Eshani Kaushalya, Sripali Weerakkody, Ama Kanchana, Inoka Ranaweera, Sugandika Kumari, Lasanthi Madushani, Chathurani Gunewardene, Maduri Samuddhika.

Stand-by players Yasoda Mendis, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Udeshika Prabodhani, Achini Kulasooriya, Hasini Perera, Chamari Polgampola, Nilakshi de Silva
