Jayasuriya forces
his way back for the NZ tour |
Dec

 Sanath
Jayasuriya, who was dropped from the 7th ODI
against India and the 3-Tests Series against
India has forced his way back in the Lankan team
for the New Zealand One Day Series. Jayasuriya
was dropped following his loss in form and
fitness problems according to the Selectors.
Jayasuriya's axing was a subject of debate all
along the last four weeks with even the Sri
Lankan President going to an extent of ordering
a probe into the matter. Jayasuriya's inclusion
in the side is however subject to his fitness.
Sri Lanka faced heavy defeat on their tour to
India losing the ODIs Series 1-6 and the Test
Series 0-2.
