Like a bolt from the blue or from somewhere else, Sri Lanka's little big man Sanath Jayasuriya will now be unavailable for Warwickshire's Twenty20 Cup campaign after being named in Sri Lanka's squad for the Asia Cup in Pakistan. "The news comes out of the blue," says Warwickshire's Director of Cricket Ashley Giles. "It's disappointing especially given his recent form in the IPL." Lest we forget, Jayasuriya is the only player to score more than 12,000 runs and take more than 300 wickets in the 50-over game. In short, it's a big loss to the Bears.
