What special items do you pop in your kit bag if you are an England cricketer heading off on tour? Captain Alastair Cook likes to take a dart board with him. For others, television box sets and games consoles help to while away the hours during downtime. The wonderfully eccentric former England wicketkeeper Jack Russell would not leave home without several boxes of Weetabix, enough tea bags to feed his 30-cups-a-day habit, biscuits, mashed potato, baked beans and HP sauce. Alongside Russell's creature comforts, James Tredwell's penchant for home-made jam and chutney appears decidedly modest. But that will not make the off-spinner any less popular in the team room in Sri Lanka, where England play seven one-day internationals in the next three weeks, starting in Colombo on Wednesday. "I've got a bit of a patch where I grow my own fruit and veg so I make some chutneys and jams if I have a bit of a glut," Tredwell told BBC Sport before departing for the island off the Indian subcontinent. "I've got a couple of chutneys this year which I might sneak into the bag to Sri Lanka but customs tend to be a bit tight these days. "When we're in Bangladesh and places like that, where the food can be quite temperamental at times, it can be quite nice to have a bit of home comfort. At other times, it's just a good way for me to get rid of it. I have that many jars of it in the cupboard, it's nice to take it away and let the boys enjoy it."

Sri Lanka have recalled left-arm spinner Rangana Herath for their seven-match one-day series with England which starts in Colombo on Wednesday.

Herath, 36, was rested for their recent 5-0 series whitewash in India.
Left-handed batsman Thilina Kandamby, 32, has not played an ODI since 2011 but returns after Sri Lanka failed to score 300 in any match against India.
Off-spinner Dilruwan Perera, who last played in an ODI for Sri Lanka in 2008, is also named in the 15-man squad.
Sri Lanka have also selected frontline spinner Ajantha Mendis and leg-spinning all-rounder Jeevan Mendis in the squad.
Injured fast bowler Lasith Malinga  is still recovering from surgery on his ankle, while seamer Nuwan Kulasekara has been left out in favour of Shaminda Eranga while batsmen Dinesh Chandimal and Ashan Priyanjan are both dropped..
Also in the squad, captained by Angelo Mathews, are pace pair Dhammika Prasad and Shaminda Eranga, who helped Sri Lanka to a surprise Test series win over England last summer.
Sri Lanka ODI squad to face England: Angelo Mathews (captain), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kusal Perera, Kumar Sangakkara (wicketkeeper), Mahela Jayawardena, Lahiru Thirimanne, Jeevan Mendis, Thilina Kandamby, Rangana Herath, Dilruwan Perera, Ajantha Mendis, Shaminda Eranga, Dhammika Prasad, Thisara Perera, Lahiru Gamage.
