(born
October 9 ,
1979 in
Colombo , commonly known as '''Prasanna Jayawardene''') is a
Sri Lanka n
Cricket er. He is a right-handed batsman and a wicketkeeper.
Having toured
England in
1998 as a 19-year-old, Jayawardene was touted for a long career as a Sri Lankan cricketer, but soon found himself out of play thanks to the emerging talent of
Kumar Sangakkara in
2000 . His career was again thwarted by the good form of
Romesh Kaluwitharana , but since this he has actually managed to make a few appearances since for the Sri Lankan team. With the Sri Lankan selectors having concerns about Sangakkara's playing ability, Jayawardene was once again called into action against
Zimbabwe in April 2004. Since
2004 Jayawardene has played Twenty20 cricket.
