'Jayasuriya's selection is a disgrace'
Andy Bull, in his blog in the Guardian , says Sanath Jayasuriya's farewell games against England are an example of politics mixing with sport and his selection is unacceptable because he is an elected representative of a government that stands
There is no convincing case to be made for recalling Jayasuriya. It has been two-and-a-half years since he scored a century in any kind of cricket, and the fact that he has said he will play only in the first of the five ODIs against England is testament in itself that he is not coming back because he has the interests of the team at heart.
