After waiting six years and five months to once again represent the West Indies at the Test level, Veerasammy Permaul did not disappoint, grabbing his maiden five-wicket haul, a feat he is overwhelmed on achieving.
The 32-year-old left-arm spinner, bagged 5-35 against Sri Lanka in the ongoing second Test at Galle, Sri Lanka to help bundle out the hosts for 204.
After the close of the second day, Permaul said: “I’m very overwhelmed by getting my first Test five-wicket haul. I think over the years I’ve been working hard to get back into the team and now it really paid off.”
