Jayasuriya was a late withdrawal from Tuesday's one-day international here after he fell awkwardly, Sri Lankan manager Michael Tissera said.

"Sanath was reaching for his shampoo when he slipped and fell in his bath," Tissera said.

Jayasuriya, the fourth player to score 10,000 one-day runs, will remain with the squad but is unlikely to play in the remaining matches in Wellington on Friday and Napier on Sunday.

Tissera confirmed Jayasuriya would stay with the squad when they travel to Australia for a tri-series which starts in about a fortnight.

No replacement would be called for at this stage, and Jayasuriya, who was recalled for this tour after being dumped from the team that toured India last month, may seek medical treatment in Australia.
