Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene hopes his deputy Kumar Sangakkara will be ready to solve their top order batting woes when they face Bangladesh in the first test in Dhaka starting on Friday.
Sangakkara had a cut in his right foot and was struggling to wear shoes since Sri Lanka arrived in Dhaka last week to play the two-match test series and a tri-nation one-day tournament involving Zimbabwe and hosts Bangladesh.
Sangakkara, who was the highest run-getter in tests against Bangladesh with 707 runs until he was recently dethroned by South African captain Graeme Smith, also missed Sri Lanka’s only warm-up game that ended on Tuesday.
“He is healing quickly and looks okay now. Hopefully he will be ready before the first test starts,” Jayawardene told reporters.
