Sri Lanka have recalled 35-year-old bowler Chaminda Vaas for the third and final Test against Pakistan starting on Monday.

The left-armer, who has taken 354 wickets in 110 Test matches, was not selected for the first two Tests won by Sri Lanka.

Spinner Muttiah Muralitharan was not included in the squad despite an improvement in his knee injury but the 37-year-old has said he expects to be fit for the five-match one-day series starting on July 30.

Sri Lanka squad: Kumar Sangakkara (captain), Malinda Warnapura, Tharanga Paranavitana, Mahela Jayawardene, Thilan Samaraweera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Angelo Mathews, Chamara Kapugedera, Rangana Herath, Ajantha Mendis, Thilan Thushara, Nuwan Kulasekara, Dhammika Prasad, Kaushal Silva, Suranga Lakmal, Chaminda Vaas
