DUBAI: Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya leaped 13 slots to his career-best 19th in the latest ICC Men’s Test Bowler Rankings released on Wednesday following his 10-wicket haul against Ireland earlier this week. Jayasuriya’s performance, alongside centuries from teammates captain Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal and Sadeera Samarawickrama, helped Sri Lanka to achieve a whopping innings and 280-run victory over Ireland in the first of the two-match series in Galle.

Jayasuriya has now jumped his way from 32nd place in the rankings to his personal best 19th place and rating points of 869. In the Ravichandran Ashwin-led bowling list, Ramesh Mendis rose three spaces to 32nd, while Vishwa Fernando gained four places to 59th position. IANS
