World Cup
Distressed skipper
Distressed by the indifferent show in the World Cup, Sri Lankan skipper Sanath Jayasuriya has offered to quit his post ``in the best interest of the game'' but is being egged on to cotinue. Jayasuriya offered to step down from captaincy immediately after the team arrived in Sri Lanka from South Africa on Friday, Johnston Fernando, the Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, was quoted as saying in the state-run Daily News.
However, Johnston said he had urged Jayasuriya to stay on at the helm. ``I see no reason as to why you should step down. We — the national selectors, the sports ministry and the cricket board — appointed you to lead and you should continue.''
Jayasuriya, who met the selectors on Saturday, will consider his future over the weekend before making a final decision on Monday when the squad for the Sharjah Cup is named.
