Sri Lankan cricketing great Sanath Jayasuriya on Wednesday expressed anguish over the Kusal Perera-led team's first-ever bilateral One-day International (ODI) series defeat to Bangladesh on Tuesday.

"As a past player and captain it's very difficult for me to come to terms with the first series loss to Bangladesh. National pride is at stake boys fight to the last," wrote the former Sri Lankan captain, who scored close to 7,000 runs from 110 Tests and 13,430 runs from 445 ODIs.
