Jayasuriya to play Twenty20 for Warwickshire

COLOMBO, December 14: Warwickshire have signed Sri Lankan veteran Sanath Jayasuriya to play in next year's Twenty20 Cup.
"Jayasuriya has now decided to play in the English county after announcing his retirement from Test cricket", a Sri Lankan channel reported on Friday.
The 38-year-old retired from Test cricket earlier this month but will continue to play ODI and Twenty20 games for Sri Lanka.
"Sanath has vast experience in all forms of cricket but especially the One-day format," said Ashley Giles, the county's director of cricket.
"He'll be a great man for the younger members of our squad to learn from and his knowledge of the game will be crucial in the Twenty20 format of the game. I'm looking forward to working with him next summer," he added.
Jayasuriya played in the ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa earlier this year and scored half-centuries against Kenya and New Zealand.
