New Delhi, June 8 (PTI) Sri Lankan all-rounder Sanath Jayasuriya today said that he is fit enough to play international cricket and is waiting for an opportunity to play in the ODI series against England later this month.
With opener Upul Tharanga unlikely to be considered for selection after being embroiled in an alleged doping scandal, Jayasuriya looks to be the most likely option to open the innings.
"Definitely I want to play for my country. That is why I have not announced retirement from One-day cricket till date. To play for Sri Lanka has always been my priority," Jayasuriya told PTI Bhasha today.
"If any such offer comes my way, I would like to grab it for sure," the 41-year-old added.
Sri Lanka, currently playing a Test series in England, are scheduled to play a lone T20 match in Bristol on June 25 followed by five One-dayers from June 28 to July 9.
Jayasuriya, who had announced retirement from Test cricket in 2007 and played his last ODI in December 2009 against India, believed the break would not affect his form and fitness. .
