One of the brightest stars in international cricket. Jayawardene broke into the Sri Lanka squad at an early age and made vice-captain for a brief spell before the selectors decided it was too much responsibility.
Possibly the best Sri Lankan batsman to emerge after Aravinda De Silva and is seen as a future captain.
