Mahela Jayawardene has a few parting words of advice to young spin ace, Ajantha Mendis, before relinquishing his captaincy.
mendis jay Q773Q 17022
Jayawardene believes that Mendis should not feel any less proud of his own efforts but take note of the fact that India is amongst the leading teams in international cricket besides the fact that they also happen to play spin really well.
His advice instead of feeling dejected, "He now has to realise that the surprise element is out and he now has to become a much smarter bowler and come up with new tricks and learn to read the mind of the batsmen. He has got Muralitharan with him who is a very good teacher."
