Jayasuriya to make test return.

Sanath Jayasuriya has been recalled to the Sri Lankan Test side after reversing his decision to retire. The selectors met this afternoon, after Jayasuriya indicated a willingness to make himself available for Tests again, and decided to send him to England as soon as possible.

Jayasuriya met with Ashantha de Mel, Sri Lanka's new chairman of selectors, on Wednesday morning to discuss his possible return. The decision has been ratified by the Sports Ministry and although Jayasuriya's travel details have not been confirmed he is likely to arrive in the UK midway through the first Test

I kind of expected this as Sri Lanka will need him badly. He will miss the first test though.
