Swashbuckling veteran Sri Lankan opening batsman Sanath Jayasuriya’s selection for next month’s Asia Cup has served a blow to Warwickshire, as the 38-year-old will not be available for their Twenty20 Cup campaign.
Warwickshire has disclosed last year that Jayasuriya would be playing in the Twenty20 Cup from June 11.
Warwickshire director of cricket Ashley Giles said he will have to look for other options after Jayasuriya’s unavailability.
"The news comes out of the blue. It's disappointing especially given his recent form in the IPL," Giles was quoted as saying to BBC Sport.
