The Indian player Manish Pandey has been recalled for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka as he did not played an ODI since the fifth and final match of the 2016 series against New Zealand in Visakhapatnam. 

Pandey said "Talking about the injury, it was a very sad part because I missed two crucial series-the IPL and the Champions Trophy. But, nevertheless, I was preparing myself. I got a six-week rest'.

"To come back and play in South Africa and win the series was really important for me. I was very happy with the way I was batting there and I am just trying to keep up the form," he added.

"When I played against Australia, I played at number four. That's where I have been batting in the ODIs. So, batting at number five or six was a little new for me against New Zealand," he said.
