The Sri Lanka opener Tillakaratne Dilshan has been ruled out of the last two one-day cricket internationals against New Zealand with a sore back.
Dilshan's unbeaten century powered Sri Lanka to a seven-wicket victory on Tuesday and the hosts lead the five-match series 2-0.
Dinesh Chandimal is likely to replace Dilshan in the team for the remaining one dayers being played tonight and on Monday.
Chamara Kapugedera has been included in the 15-man squad.
