England will start as favourites. Pick more English players.
Wicket-keeper: Niroshan Dickwella bats in the top-3 for Sri Lanka while Buttler is a lower-middle order batsman. We would go with the former.

All-rounders: Dhananjaya de Silva and Moeen Ali are the best two all-rounder options basis the conditions. Ben Stokes is another option.
Bowlers: Akila Danajaya is the first bowler pick, for he knows the conditions better than anyone and has been among the wickets lately. Adil Rashid is another who can come into play in spin-friendly conditions.
