No-one knew that Sanath Jayasuriya would return from test cricket like this. This exit reminds Mike Atherton's embarrassed departure at the Oval in 2001. Nobody knew surely that this was his final innings in Test cricket.
Sanath Jayasuriya deep-rooted, "This is the right time to retire from test cricket". Once before, he had bowed out on this ground against Pakistan in April 2006, then a vicious broken finger quite exactly required his hand. Though he changed on that decision - with some success - in England later that year but at this time his age is 38 so there will be no possibility of come back. “Besides there are some young cricketers coming up, and I wanted to go while on top," said Sanath Jayasuriya. Also he said, "Life without cricket will be tough, but I will still be playing one-day cricket and contributing to the team."
