Eng vs SL, 1st Test: Sanath Jayasuriya plays down 'Bazball' hype

Sri Lanka is set to lock horns with Ben Stokes-less England in the first Test of the three-match series at Old Trafford, Manchester on Aug 21. Ahead of the series opener, SL's interim head coach Jayasuriya said, "You get various styles depending on the time. Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist did it too during our time. This is something similar to what we have had in the past. There has just been some media publicity that this is something new."
