September 22, 2018

Sri Lankan All rounder Shehan Jayasuriya has run into a trouble as he has been accompanied by his girlfriend throughout Asia Cup, without prior permission.

Jayasuriya was called into the squad shortly after the Sri Lankan team left for Middle East as opener Dhanushka Gunathilake had to return due to an injury. 

Jayasuriya was picked up by the national selectors as Gunathilake's replacement. 

Speaking to Asian Mirror, a SLC official said prior approval was compulsory when taking family members and spouses of players on foreign your. 

In this case, he said, no approval had been sought by the young cricketer to take his girlfriend for the tour.

It is learnt that Jayasuriya's girlfriend is a model and the daughter of a popular actress living in the US.
