Sat with his hands in his pockets and shoulder examined, Sangakkara has revealed that he had to think hard before agreeing to run as a one-time replacement for Captain Tillekaratne Dilshan who lack this match due to injury per inch.


Sangakkara resigned employment, he said "years" him after the final defeat of the World Cup in India in April, and when he refused to captain of the side this weekend against Essex, it appeared that the team would enter a Test that they have to win to level the series without a strong command structure.


The decision to offer him the position at the Rose Bowl had to be ratified by the Sri Lankan sports Minister and once asked his Government to take the job, Sangakkara had little choice but to accept.


"When I was first approached captain of the side I was not prepared to take, because the fact was that I had given to completing my role as captain, after two years of success,"he says."


"Unfortunately, no there was no vice-capitaine for this series of tests, if the side has been left in a bit of a problem to captain, then with a lot of deep thinking and study the needs of the party and Sri Lanka, I decided to say yes to being sri Lanka again for the last time in this Test.", person does. »


This visit was not easy for Sri Lanka. Stuart Law, their temporary coach, fights to prove his qualifications for the role in the long term, while the decision to allow Sanath Jayasuriya, now a member of Parliament, to return to the age of 41 years for a farewell game in the first match of the series of one day is not decision of a professional team.


"Sri Lanka is a job that you the ages very quickly, and it is a challenge of employment as well", said Sangakkara. "You say yes to a job knowing full well the challenges you will face, but it is rarely a job in that you will last long."


"Mahela Jayawardene was a fantastic captain for us for two years, and he also resigned." I also had a two year stay, and I liked it sometimes, certainly in the field, our results showed that we were one of two top sides in the world for years and a half, including the shortest form of the game.


"We have reached three Cup finals of the world in a period of four years, two 50-over, a ttwweennttyy format, beat us the Australia in Australia after 26 years. The achievements are enormous.


"I resigned and think that I have done with it, but I was clearly wrong." I am back one last time. "Absence of Dilshan is a blow to Sri Lanka more for his stick as his captain armband.


"His 193 of the Lord was the highest score by a Sri Lankan against England and his attacking style is the bowlers Andrew Strauss fought against these days.".


All pointing to a task simple for England but Sangakkara, one of the most eloquent of sports men, should not be underestimated, even if it is about to discover what is a lead Sri Lanka in the era of post-Muttiah Muralitharan.


"It is a matter of consolidation and to ensure that I am transparent and clear with my communications with my teammates and also that they are forthright and honest with me," he said. "" "". It is a case to sit down and see what options are available in team.


"Once you say yes means yes, therefore, then you get the work and do what you have to do in the field and lead to the side of your best, this is what I intend to do so.".
