Kandamby makes most of Jayasuriya's input

Sri Lanka stand-in skipper Thilina Kandamby insisted he had no problems with Sanath Jayasuriya's brief return to international cricket after the veteran took two wickets in the Twenty20 victory against England.

Jayasuriya, playing his first international match since a one-dayer against India in Delhi in December 2009, took two for 18 in three overs with his under-rated left-arm spin, including clean bowling Kevin Pietersen for 41.

Kandamby insisted he was glad to have Jayasuriya, a veteran of 444 one-day internationals, in the team. "He has a ton of experience, so it's always good to have him in the side," said Kandamby. "You can go and talk to him and he's still fit enough to play. He is a very useful cricketer."
