England have called upon Vikram Solanki for the final two ODIs against
Sri Lanka. The Indian-born Solanki, who was omitted from England's
original squad comes back into the team as cover for the injured Kevin
Pietersen and Paul Collingwood.
Pietersen aggravated a left knee injury during the third ODI against
Sri Lanka at the Riverside on Saturday while Durham all-rounder
Collingwood injured his left thigh.
The duo join England’s injury list which currently sees the team
without regular captain Michael Vaughan (knee), all-rounder Andrew
Flintoff (ankle), left-arm spinner Ashley Giles (hip) and pace bowlers
Simon Jones (knee) and James Anderson (back).
