Gurusinha Willing To Join Sri Lankan Team
One of Sri Lanka`s foremost batsmen, Asanka Gurusinha, currently
in Australia representing North Melbourne club, said he is willing to join the national team in New Zealand in the last week of
February, if selected.
Gurusinha said he has always put his country before self and will
offer his services for Sri Lanka team. The 30-year-old lefthander was one of the key figures in his country winning the
World Cup, being the second highest run-getter for his side after
Aravinda de Silva, with 307 runs and three fifties for an average
of 51.16.
He was dropped from the Singer Champions trophy tournament in
Sharjah after two matches and has been asked by the Cricket Board
to return home six weeks before the Sri Lanka team embarks on its
March tour to New Zealand.
