London, Feb. 19 -- : Spinner Akila Dananjaya has returned to the Sri Lanka ODI squad for the upcoming five-match series against South Africa, after being cleared of bowling action by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

The 25-year-old was suspended from bowling after being reported during the first Test against England in Galle from November 6 to 10 last year and subsequently underwent an independent assessment of his bowling action in Brisbane on November 23 last year, following which he was barred from bowling in international cricket.

Other players to make a comeback in the ODI squad include batsman Upul Tharanga and left-arm seamer Isuru Udana who earned the spot after giving impressive performances for Sri Lanka A team.
