Jayawardene looked set for a long career after
touring England as a 19-year-old in 1998, but had been marginalised
since the rocket-fuelled arrival of Kumar Sangakkara in 2000.
Waiting on the sidelines, in fact, had already been a feature of
Jayawardene's career. He made his Test debut against Pakistan at
Kandy in June 2000, but was confined to the dressing-room
throughout, as Sri Lanka batted over the first three days before
rain washed out play on the last two. The resurgence of Romesh
Kaluwitharana threatened to push Jayawardene further down the
pecking order, but his batting has steadily improved in the
intervening years, and with the Sri Lankan selectors voicing their
concerns about overburdening Sangakkara, Jayawardene was recalled to
the Test squad for the tour of Zimbabwe in April 2004.
