Drawing a comparison to the famous comic character Mr Bean playing cricket. "Imagine Mr Bean brought into the team despite selectors rejected him because he is an ACTOR & not a cricketer!" Jayasuriya tweeted. "However, not only does he play when umpire rules him out refuses to leave the crease!" he added.

Jayasuriya had earlier too targeted the President and Prime Minister using a Mr Bean reference. "The people are getting agitated. What part of resign or go home don't you understand President and Prime Minister this is not a Mr. BEAN movie this is real life your playing with people lives," he had tweeted on Saturday.
