Jayawardene, who has seen Bumrah from close quarters in the Mumbai Indians camp, adds that in the immediate, the pace bowler will receive lots of support from seniors when he is leading the side in the rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston.
Head coach Mahela Jayawardene, had some things to say in his post-match virtual press conference and felt that his side have been lacking the instincts to finish off certain matches successfully.
Former skipper Aravinda de Silva was also reportedly questioned for almost six hours on Tuesday.
Jayawardene also spoke about Muttiah Muralitharan stating that the spinning legend was a difficult bowler "to convince to do something he didn't want to".
The Sri Lankan legend stated that he personally does not want too much alteration to the Test match format.
For the unversed, the four-day Test matches have already been played before.
He opined that if Sri Lanka indeed want to beat India in the T20I series, the seniors must play with a lot more responsibility.
Run machine Virat Kohli has scored as many as 11609 runs in ODI cricket as of now.
Bumrah, who recently bowled at the Indian team's nets, is nearly back to his full fitness having recovered from a stress fracture.
