COLOMBO, Feb 27 (AFP): Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene admitted Sunday that Kenya, who defeated his team in a stunning 2003 World Cup triumph, still have players to cause another shock when the two meet Tuesday. Eight years ago, Sri Lanka lost by 53 runs to Kenya in Nairobi as the unheralded Africans went on to reach the semi-finals. Jayawardene is one of three survivors from that game, along with skipper Kumar Sangakkara and spinner Muttiah Muralitharan.
