Former Sri Lanka international Shehan Jayasuriya is set to debut for the United States in next month’s Twenty20 World Cup, after the US named him in their 15-member squad for the global championship.
All-rounder Jayasuriya, 34, played 12 one-day internationals and 18 T20 matches for Sri Lanka, and represented the country in the 2016 edition of the T20 World Cup, before announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket in the South-Asian nation in 2021.
The left-handed batter and right-arm spinner later relocated to the US with his family and has since played in several franchise-based T20 leagues, including the Major League Cricket in the US.
Pakistan-born Mohammad Mohsin is eyeing his US debut as well, and Shubham Ranjane, grandson of former India international Vasant Ranjane, has also been named in the squad captained by Monank Patel.
