KARACHI: Sri Lanka test regular Thilan Samaraweera wants to use the cricket tour to Pakistan as an opportunity to send outgoing captain Mahela Jayawardene off on a high note.
“Everyone knows his record as a captain, which is brilliant in both test cricket and one-day cricket,” Samaraweera said Monday. “I think we will give a good farewell to him as a captain.”
Jayawardene, 31, has announced he will quit as captain at the end of the second test at Lahore on March 5. The first test will be played at Karachi from Feb. 21. Jayawardene has struck 24 test centuries–11 as captain—and overall has scored 7,959 runs in 100 tests at an average of 52.36
