Sri Lanka cricket: Sanath Jayasuriya named full time coach after successful interim spell

Jayasuriya is already regarded as one of Sri Lanka’s greatest players after a career that included 110 Tests, 445 one-day internationals and 31 T20s.

A destructive opener and canny left-arm spinner, Jayasuriya was part of the Sri Lanka team that won the World Cup in 1996 and reached the final in 2007.

Since retiring he became a member of Parliament in his home country and acted as the cricket board’s chief selector.

In 2019 he was banned for two years after admitting breaches of the International Cricket Council’s anti-corruption code.

Prior to the Test series in England, Jayasuriya also oversaw a one-day international series victory against India.

Although they lost the Test series against England 2-1, victory in the series finale and the 2-0 series win at home against New Zealand means Sri Lanka still have an outside chance of qualifying for next year’s World Test Championship final.
