    Sangakkara has stated that Ideal batting line up should include Jeewn Mendis & Chandimal & excluded Jayasuriya in an interview given after Micromax cup.

    If this 2 guys are not given chances in the upcoming ODI’s & if Jayasuriya is brought back solely due to influence it will be a shame and selectors will be the sole culprits not listening to our intelligent skipper who has done most of the things right in making SL cricket go forward.
