ICC Hall of Famer Mahela Jayawardena was impressed by Prabhat Jayasuriya’s exceptional start to his Test cricket and discussed what he can do for Sri Lanka’s future.

Jayasuriya has had an impressive start to his Test career, taking three or more wickets in every innings of his Test career so far, and was also awarded the ICC Men’s Player of the Year for July 2022.
“He’s played a lot of first-class cricket, he’s had a lot of experience on the field,” Jayawardene said in the ICC review.

Jayawardene believes that Sri Lanka will benefit from him playing even on overseas tours in the next few years. “He can be good because he is a natural bowler, he has played a lot of cricket and understands the game,” Jayawardene said.

Sri Lanka is ranked number 3 in the ICC World Test Championship after the Pakistan Test series and is all set to enter next year’s tournament. Jayawardena emphasized that it will not be easy for Sri Lanka.

මහේල ජයවර්ධන නව ශ්‍රී ලංකා ක්‍රිකට් තරුව ගැන ප්‍රශංසා කරයි

ICC Hall of Famer මහේල ජයවර්ධන ප්‍රභාත් ජයසූරියගේ ටෙස්ට් ක්‍රිකට් ක්‍රීඩාවේ සුවිශේෂී ආරම්භය ගැන පැහැදුණු අතර ඔහු ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ අනාගතය වෙනුවෙන් ලබා දෙන පොරොන්දුව ගැන සාකච්ඡා කළේය.

ජයසූරිය ඔහුගේ ටෙස්ට් දිවියේ විශ්මයජනක ආරම්භයක් ලබා ගත් අතර, මෙතෙක් ඔහුගේ ටෙස්ට් දිවියේ සෑම ඉනිමකදීම කඩුලු තුනක් හෝ වැඩි ගණනක් ලබා ගත් අතර, 2022 ජූලි මස ICC පිරිමි ක්‍රීඩකයා සම්මානයෙන් ද පිදුම් ලැබීය.
” ඔහු බොහෝ පළමු පෙළ ක්‍රිකට් ක්‍රීඩා කර ඇත, ඔහුට පිටිය තුල බොහෝ අත්දැකීම් තිබුණි,” ජයවර්ධන ICC සමාලෝචනයේදී පැවසීය.

ඉදිරි වසර කිහිපය තුළ විදේශ සංචාරවලදී පවා ඔහු ක්‍රීඩා කිරීමෙන් ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට ප්‍රතිලාභ ලැබෙනු ඇතැයි ජයවර්ධන විශ්වාස කරයි. “ඔහු ස්වභාවික පන්දු යවන්නෙක් නිසා ඔහුට හොඳ වෙන්න පුළුවන්, ඔහු ක්‍රිකට් ගොඩක් ක්‍රීඩා කරලා තියෙනවා, ක්‍රීඩාව තේරෙනවා”, ජයවර්ධන පැවසීය.

ශ්‍රී ලංකාව පාකිස්තාන ටෙස්ට් තරගාවලියෙන් පසුව ICC ලෝක ටෙස්ට් ශූරතාවලියේ අංක 3 ස්ථානයේ පසුවන අතර ලබන වසරේ තරගයකට පිවිසීමට ශ්‍රී ලංකාව සූදානමින් සිටී. ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට එය පහසු නොවන බව ජයවර්ධන අවධාරණය කළේය.

புதிய இலங்கை கிரிக்கெட் நட்சத்திரத்தை மஹேல ஜெயவர்தன பாராட்டியுள்ளார்

ICC Hall of Famer மஹேல ஜயவர்தன, பிரபாத் ஜயசூரியவின் டெஸ்ட் கிரிக்கெட்டுக்கான விதிவிலக்கான தொடக்கத்தால் ஈர்க்கப்பட்டார் மற்றும் இலங்கையின் எதிர்காலத்திற்கான அவரது வாக்குறுதியைப் பற்றி விவாதித்தார்.

ஜெயசூர்யா தனது டெஸ்ட் வாழ்க்கையில் ஒரு அற்புதமான தொடக்கத்தைப் பெற்றுள்ளார், இதுவரை தனது டெஸ்ட் வாழ்க்கையின் ஒவ்வொரு இன்னிங்ஸிலும் மூன்று அல்லது அதற்கு மேற்பட்ட விக்கெட்டுகளை வீழ்த்தியுள்ளார், மேலும் ஜூலை 2022க்கான ICC ஆண்களுக்கான சிறந்த வீரருக்கான விருதையும் பெற்றார்.
ஐசிசி மதிப்பாய்வில் ஜெயவர்த்தனே கூறுகையில், “அவர் நிறைய முதல்தர கிரிக்கெட்டில் விளையாடியுள்ளார், அவர் களத்தில் நிறைய அனுபவம் பெற்றவர்.

அடுத்த சில ஆண்டுகளில் வெளிநாட்டு சுற்றுப்பயணங்களில் கூட விளையாடுவதால் இலங்கைக்கு பலன் கிடைக்கும் என்று ஜெயவர்த்தனே நம்புகிறார். “அவர் ஒரு இயல்பான பந்துவீச்சாளர் என்பதால் அவர் நன்றாக விளையாட முடியும், அவர் நிறைய கிரிக்கெட் விளையாடியுள்ளார் மற்றும் விளையாட்டைப் புரிந்துகொள்கிறார்” என்று ஜெயவர்த்தனே கூறினார்.

பாகிஸ்தான் டெஸ்ட் தொடருக்குப் பிறகு ஐசிசி உலக டெஸ்ட் சாம்பியன்ஷிப் தரவரிசையில் 3வது இடத்தில் உள்ள இலங்கை அடுத்த ஆண்டு போட்டிகளில் நுழையத் தயாராக உள்ளது. அது இலங்கைக்கு இலகுவானதாக அமையாது என ஜயவர்தன வலியுறுத்தியுள்ளார்.
