Jayawardene was involved with the Mumbai Indians Team as their Head Coach but with the defending champions failing to secure a playoff spot in the Indian Premier League, he will join the team earlier than expected.
Earlier, SLC had announced that Jayawardene will be with the Sri Lanka Team for a 7-day period from October 16 to 23.
But now, the Sri Lankan cricketers will have the service of Jayawardene for nearly two weeks.
