Sri Lanka's Prabath Jayasuriya scripted history on Friday by becoming the fastest spinner to complete 50 wickets in Test cricket. He broke a seven-decade record by getting the feat in just his seventh Test. The left-arm spinner reached the milestone on Day 5 of the third and final Test against Ireland. West Indian great Alf Valentine was the previous fastest spinner to touch the 50-wicket mark, getting the milestone in eight Tests in 1951.
