GALLE: Spinner Prabath Jayasuriya took five wickets on his Test debut for Sri Lanka as he returned to the pitch on Saturday against Australia at Galle.
The 30-year-old added two wickets to his overnight tally of three with his left-arm spin as he took down wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey for 28 along with Mitchell Starc, caught at slip for one on day two of the second Test.
He is only the seventh Sri Lankan bowler to claim a five-for in his first Test match.
Jayasuriya was one of the three Sri Lankan players, including Maheesh Theekshana and Kamindu Mendis, to get a Test cap after a Covid outbreak in the squad.
Sri Lanka trail the two-match series 1-0 after their hammering in last week’s opener.
