Cricket: Mendis in reckoning for Pakistan series
Mendis and Fernando last played for Sri Lanka on the tour of South Africa last year and the spinner, who suffered a back injury, has not played a competitive match since January.
Another fast-bowler Nuwan Pradeep also returns from injury after he suffered a hamstring tear against the South African Invitation XI in Benoni.
Pakistan are due to arrive in Colombo on May 28 and will play two Twenty20s, five One-Day Internationals (ODI) and three Tests. India are expected to play a shorter series, comprising five ODIs and one Twenty20.

what an exciting talent he promised to be. He was almost becoming history. Hope he takes this chance with both hands and work hard like rangana herath to take wickets. You now need to outsmart batters, as you are no more a mistery. Things will return wth your co9mmitment, unless you are already leading a comfy life.
