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).
