“After playing for Sri Lanka, Jayasuriya is now ready to represent the USA on the world stage.”
Former Sri Lanka all-rounder Shehan Jayasuriya has been named in the USA squad for the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. This selection marks a new chapter in his international career after previously playing for Sri Lanka.
Jayasuriya represented Sri Lanka between 2015 and 2020 in both ODIs and T20 Internationals. He was known for his aggressive batting and useful off-spin. After stepping away from Sri Lanka cricket, he moved to the United States and continued playing competitive cricket in domestic leagues and Major League Cricket.
His consistent performances in the USA circuit caught the attention of selectors. As a result, he earned a place in the national team. The experienced all-rounder is expected to add balance to the squad with both bat and ball.
The USA will face strong teams in the T20 World Cup. However, Jayasuriya’s experience at the international level could play a key role. Fans are eager to see how he performs in his new colors on the world stage.
