The retired Tillakaratne Dilshan has been replaced by Sachith Pathirana in Sri Lanka's one-day international squad.

Sri Lanka have selected Sachith Pathirana for the fourth one-day international against Australia following the retirement of Tillakaratne Dilshan.

Dilshan, 39, has called time on his ODI career and made his final appearance in the third match of the five-match series, a two-wicket defeat suffered by the hosts in Dambulla on Sunday.

All-rounder Pathirana, 27, has made three previous ODI appearances for Sri Lanka, all of them coming against Pakistan in July last year.

His inclusion in place of Dilshan is the only change to the squad for Sri Lanka, who trail 2-1 with two matches remaining in the series.
