Sanga signs for Durham

Kumar Sangakkara will warm-up for Sri Lanka's forthcoming tour of England by appearing in the next two rounds of County Championship matches for title-holders Durham.
One of the outstanding batsmen of his generation and ninth on the list of all-time leading Test run-scorers with 11,151 at an average of nearly 59, Sangakkara is set to play for Durham in their four-day games with Yorkshire and Sussex next month.
"I'm really looking forward to returning to county cricket with Durham and I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity"," Sangakkara said in a statement.
"I actually made my debut for Warwickshire against Durham back in 2007 -- I scored a few runs that day so I'm hoping to make amends this time around."
Durham coach Jon Lewis added: "I said that if we could pull off this signing it would be a big bonus and it is. To attract a player of Sangakkara's quality to Durham is fantastic."
