Praveen Jayawickrama had a Test debut to remember as Sri Lanka trounced Bangladesh by a staggering 209 runs. The left-arm spinner picked up 11 wickets in the game, becoming the first Sri Lankan to claim a ten-wicket haul on debut. Praveen Jayawickrama’s stunning effort also meant that the 22-year-old registered the best Test figures for a Sri Lankan bowler on debut, eclipsing Akila Dananjaya’s 8 on 44 against Bangladesh 3 years ago.
