The rumours were squashed shortly after, when it was revealed  that the Sri Lankan skipper had identified something special in the  young bowler.  Jayawardene showed no hesitation in picking Dananjaya in the Wayamba United squad for the inaugural SLPL. Now, with three T20 matches under his belt – all of them played in  the ongoing SLPL – Dananjaya has caught the eye of several former  players in the commentary box, which prompted them to interview the  young lad at the conclusion of the match between Wayamba and Basnahira  on Sunday. Dananjaya was confusing television commentators who did not know whether to classify him as an off spinner or a leg spinner. "I bowl off-spin mostly, but I have four types of deliveries – leg  spin, googly, carrom ball and doosra. They are my own inventions and  variations," Dananjaya explained. The youngster went on to thank Jayawardene for the faith he has shown in him and the opportunity to play at the SLPL. "I'm very happy to be a part of this tournament and it's a great  honour. Mahela Jayawardene has given me good support, this is a good  team," he said. Dananjaya has bowled impressively in the tournament thus far, and has  shown that he doesn't mind tossing the ball up. A bowling average of  under 15, along with an economy rate of under five runs per over, has  complimented his four-wicket tally. And with Wayamba left with three  more matches before the semi-final stage, Dananjaya still has plenty of  time to improve on his figures and perhaps even earn a spot in Sri  Lanka's final World Twenty20 squad.</blockquote>
