SL strengthened by Jayasuriya return

---

Mahela Jayawardene acknowledged Bangladesh's growing one-day prowess but warned that his team was determined to win the three-match series starting at the P Saravanamuttu Stadium in Colombo on Friday at any cost, reports Cricinfo.
"We always respected Bangladesh whenever we played them in Test or ODIs, especially in ODIs where they can be a handful. They've shown that when we played them in Bangladesh. They beat us once," Jayawardene said.
For this series Sri Lanka has rested Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan who have captured nearly 700 one-day wickets between them. Jayawardene said: "It's a good opportunity for the others without Vaas and Murali. That's how we look at it. Both of them have been great campaigners for us. What we try to do is try to manage them and give exposure to the other players.
The return of Sanath Jayasuriya, the most capped one-day cricketer, adds considerable strength to the batting. "Sanath is fresh and wants to play one-day cricket again. He has played well for Lancashire and he had some really good games. He is looking forward to the opportunity," Jayawardene said.
Sri Lanka delayed finalising their eleven because three of the players (Jayasuriya, Jehan Mubarak and Chamara Kapugedera) arrived from England only on Tuesday.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, remain wary of playing the World Cup runners up, at home to boot. Shaun Williams, the coach, said: "If we are to beat Sri Lanka we need to play better than we did against them in the Test series.
"We have quite a few new players who have come into the one-day team and one of them is Aftab Ahmed who played a fabulous knock to steer us to victory in the practice game on Wednesday," Williams said.
Aftab, who hit a run-a-ball 91in Bangladesh's three-wicket win, will continue to bat at the same position. The second and third ODIs will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium on July 23 and 25.
