Jayasuriya back in SL limited-overs squad
Quote:
Sri Lanka allrounder Sanath Jayasuriya has been recalled to the national ODI and Twenty20 side for the upcoming series against England and Scotland.
There was recent speculation over the possible inclusion of Jayasuriya, who turns 42 in June, following the thumb injury sustained by captain and opener Tillakaratne Dilshan in the second Test against England that has put him in doubt for the third Test, although he has been named in the limited-overs squad.

Looks like SL is going backwards. Instead of picking a talented young player, they opted for 42 years old guy who is out of touch for long time. SL has lot of young players who need right grooming and opportunities. Picking Jayasuria over a young player is nothing else but wasting a rare chance for a youngster.
