ICC Cricket World Cup 2011: Sri Lanka declare 15-member squad

ICC Cricket World Cup 2011: Sri Lanka declare 15-member squad
Sri Lanka Cricket announced their 15-member squad for February’s International Cricket board World Cup 2011.
The Board trimmed down the 30-man opening squad that spurned up a couple of surprises as well as Chaminda Vaas and Sanath Jayasuriya. However, the expert duo was dropped for the final squad for the popular cricket event. Sri Lanka is one of the co-hosts of the World Cup along with India and Bangladesh. The super event will get underway on 19 February 2011.
41-year-old Jayasuriya was last seen in a two-match Twenty20 series against New Zealand in 2010. He is now a part of the Sri Lankan parliament and has retired from Test cricket to focus on shorter formats of the game. The last time he featured in a One Day International was in December 2009. The veteran  was also part of the World Cup winning Sri Lankan squad in 1996.
On the other hand, Vaas who has also quit Test cricket, played his last ODI for Sri Lanka in August 2008. The 36-year-old is Sri Lanka’s most fatal new-ball bowler however; it now seems that his 50-over cricket career is on hold for some time. Vaas was also part of the squad in the 1996 World Cup victory.
The selectors did not give reasons to keep out the two veteran players, however there were reports suggesting previous that the chairman of selectors Aravinda de Silva was not keen on alternative the duo due to their recent form slump. He veiled that there would be no place for the senior players as the youngsters were the need of the hour.
However, their exclusion from the final squad means that Muttiah Muralitharan will be the only player who featured in the winning team of 1996. Muralitharan retired from Test cricket in July 2010 as he took his 800^th wicket. He also holds the record number of wickets (517) in ODIs.
Surprisingly, Sri Lanka’s leading off-spinner Suraj Randiv might not find a World Cup tie up as left-arm spinner Rangana Herath was incorporated in the 15-man squad. Herath is an conventional left-arm spinner and has taken only nine wickets from nine international appearances.
Kumar Sangakkara will be captaining the side with Mahela Jayawardene temporary as his deputy.
Here is a complete 15-member list:
Sri Lanka's World Cup Squad: Kumar Sangakkara (captain and wicketkeeper), Mahela Jayawardene (vice captain), Thilan Samaraweera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Upul Tharanga, Chamara Kapugedera, Angelo Mathews, Chamara Silva, Lasith Malinga, Tissara Perera, Dilhara Fernando, Nuwan Kulasekara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Rangana Herath, Ajantha Mendis
