Though he hasn't yet announced his retirement from international cricket, he has not played international cricket after April 2015.
From 2021, Jayawardene has represented Woodhall Spa Cricket Club, in the Lincolnshire Premier League, made famous by Can You Cricket's videos on YouTube.
Domestic career
Having toured England in 1998 as a 19-year-old, Jayawardene was touted for a long career as a Sri Lankan cricketer, but soon found himself out of play thanks to the emerging talent of Kumar Sangakkara in 2000. His career was again thwarted by the good form of Romesh Kaluwitharana, but since this he has managed to make a few appearances for the Sri Lankan team. With the Sri Lankan selectors having concerns about Sangakkara's playing ability, Jayawardene was once again called into action against Zimbabwe in April 2004. He made his Twenty20 debut on 17 August 2004, for Nondescripts Cricket Club in the 2004 SLC Twenty20 Tournament.[1]
International career
Due to Kumar Sangakkara's status as a regular wicketkeeper-batsman, he was trouble in playing No.3 of the batting order while keeping all day. Sri Lankan selectors felt that they could afford to play a specialist keeper in test matches. As a result of this, both Sangakkara and Jayawardene have played test cricket in the same team of late, Sangakkara as a specialist top order batsman and Jayawardene as the specialist keeper down the order.
Jayawardene donned the gloves for Sri Lanka due to an injury to Sangakkara in Sri Lanka's 1st Test against Australia on 8 November 2007. In the Test series against England in December, Jayawardene flourished with two vital fifties and nine catches. On the 27 May 2011 Jayawardene scored a patient yet fluent 112 at the SWALEC stadium in Cardiff.
