Sri Lanka's Danushka Gunathilaka will return to international cricket after a ban for breaching COVID-19 rules with his inclusion for next month's Twenty20 tour of Australia, selectors announced on Wednesday.

The all-rounder and two others were sanctioned after they admitted breaching a bio-secure bubble in Durham during a tour of England last June.

Legendary pacer Lasith Malinga was appointed specialist bowling coach of the team while Rumesh Ratnayake has been named as the interim coach.
