Bridgetown, Barbados - (PTI): Already retired from Test cricket, Sri Lankan opening batsman Sanath Jayasuriya hopes to play in next year’s World Cup in the subcontinent before ending his illustrious international career.
Jayasuriya, who was recently elected to the Sri Lankan Parliament, is uncertain whether he would continue beyond this year but said he would want to play in the World Cup, to be co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh early next year.
“I had retired from Test matches. Now, I only want to play 50-over and 20-over cricket. My key, at the end of this year, is to assess my international career overall, but I am going along, tour by tour, for now,” Jayasuriya, who will turn 41 next month, said.
“That (50-over World Cup) has been in the back of my mind. If I perform, I could be selected.”
