Prabath Jayasuriya, a rarity in modern-day cricket, made his Test debut at the age of 30 and immediately claimed 12 wickets against Australia in Galle.

He also highlighted the importance of staying focused and maintaining consistent processes, even as experienced players like Kusal Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal are lost.
