jayasurya The family of Sri Lanka’s master blaster opening batsman Sanath Jayasuriya was set to join him in Bridgetown for Saturday’s final with Australia.

Jayasuriya’s wife Sandra and three young children were due to leave later on Thursday for London en route to Barbados.

Jayasuriya, player of the series in the 1996 World Cup, which Sri Lanka won, is a vital cog in the Sri Lankan batting machine.

With his failure in the semifinal against New Zealand when he was bowled for one by James Franklin, the explosive left-hander’s form will be crucial to Sri Lanka’s chances against Australia.

Jayasuriya has hit centuries against Bangladesh and host West Indies in the current World Cup.

Sri Lanka’s President Mahinda Rajapakse also made a previously unscheduled visit to Barbados on Thursday to witness his country play Australia in the finals.
