After a one-sided Test series, Sri Lanka and England face off in the 5-match ODI series starting from <span data-term="goog_953009344">21st June</span> at Nottingham. Trailing 2-10 to England on the basis of the newly devised points system, Sri Lanka have altered their side whereas England look far more settled than the tourists. Last time these two sides met in England in an ODI series, we were treated with some of the best entertainment be it Jos Buttler&#8217;s 61-ball-100 or his mankading dismissal in the next game. With another high voltage series on offer, let us look at the 5 players to watch out for:

The highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka in the test series with 10 wickets from 3 matches, Pradeep promises to be the future of fast bowling for the islanders. With a slinging action and raw pace, Pradeep&#8217;s skills were on display in the recently concluded Test series. Though the Lankan bowlers had a hard time throughout the 3 Tests, Pradeep was often seen troubling the batsmen with his late swing and sharp speed. Let us see whether he can transfer his form to the much easier one day format on helping wickets.

Over the last 3 years, Chandimal has grown tremendously and certainly become the batting mainstay for Sri Lanka. The wicketkeeper batsman already has two hundreds to his name on this tour, one against England and the other against Ireland in the first one-dayer. With a solid base and good technique, sky is the limit for Chandimal. He may not be as good as a Virat Kohli or AB de Villiers, but with a little support from other batsmen around, he can single handedly win matches for Sri Lanka.

After having a colossal debut in the ODI against Ireland where he picked up 5 wickets and scored a quick fire 42, captain Angelo Mathews must be counting on Shanaka for a continued run of good form to help Sri Lanka taste some success in the second leg of their England tour. The 24-year old had a decent debut as well where he picked up 3 wickets and must have got an idea of English conditions by now for its up to the young star to use them to his advantage in the upcoming ODI series.

What a turnaround this man has had in his career since the 2015 Ashes where he was called up as last minute replacement. Jonny Bairstow has grown leaps and bounds in terms of technique and consistency. He piled up 387 runs from 3 Tests against Lanka and was adjudged Player of the Series. With Bairstow showing such exquisite form recently, it will tough for captain Morgan to choose between him and Buttler and don&#8217;t be surprised if he ends up playing one of them as a specialist batsman.

Alex Hales became the third Englishman to record the unlucky feat of getting out thrice between 80 and 99 in a Test series comprising 3 Tests after Jack Hobbs and Ken Barrington. After a poor tour of South Africa, Hales tightened his 5-day game and displayed solidity with scores of 83, 86 and 94 from 5 innings. Hales has always been the batsman with the most potential in the England side when it comes to limited overs cricket but has failed to convert good starts into big scores, let us hope he sheds his demons and comes off age in the ODI series after setting the tone in Tests.

5 Players to watch out for in the England v Sri Lanka ODI series

After a one-sided Test series, Sri Lanka and England face off in the 5-match ODI series starting from 21st June at Nottingham. Trailing 2-10 to England on
