Sri Lanka have called up reinforcements for the five ODIs after their 2-0 hammering in the Tests. Lahiru Thirimanne, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Nuwan Kulasekara and, depending on fitness, Lasith Malinga are among a number of players injected into the ODI squad.

The opening ODI is on Boxing Day in Christchurch, McCullum&rsquo;s hometown and where he will play his last international in the second Test against Australia in two months.
"We've got a bumper calendar really with Sri Lanka here at the moment, Pakistan to come and finishing off with the Aussies," he said.
"From a playing point of view and a captain's point of view, I&rsquo;m fully committed to playing at the absolute top of my game and make as many contributions as I can."
