Shehan Jayasuriya retire from Sri Lanka Cricket

Written by Sumit Seth

Shehan Jayasuriya, who represented Sri Lanka in both ODIs and T20I formats, has informed the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), that he will no longer be available for the selection of domestic or international cricket tournaments with immediate effect.

Jayasuriya has taken this decision, as he has decided to relocate to United States of America with his family to settle in that country.

While announcing his decision, Shehan thanked Sri Lanka Cricket for the opportunities provided to him, during his time as a national player.

SLC, while thanking Jayasuriya for the services he has rendered to Sri Lanka Cricket as a player, take this opportunity to wish him the very best in his future endeavors.

A gritty left-handed batsman and right-arm off break bowler, Shehan played 12 ODIs and 18 T20Is for Sri Lanka. During his peak, however, he was deliberately deprived of regular chances in the national squads, because he was not in the good book of Sri Lanka’s then head coach Chandika Hathurusingha.
