Jayasuriya to play for S African club

Durban, Sep 10 (UNI) Veteran Sri Lankan opener Sanath Jayasuriya will play for South African provincial side Dolphins in the new season which starts next month.

Jayasuriya, however, will not be seen in action during the T20 Champions Challenge in Mumbai this December.

''We are very excited to have acquired the services of a player of Sanath's calibre,'' Dolphins chief executive Cassim Dockrat said.

''He means a lot to us.'' ''Sanath will arrive in South Africa in the first week of November and will start playing (for Dolphins) in the one-day series that starts in mid-November, as well as in the (local) Twenty20 series,'' he added.
