The recently concluded four-nation Twenty20 tournament in Canada has made Sri Lanka's 23-year-old mystery bowler Ajantha Mendis richer. "He (Mendis) has been awarded an apartment in UAE," Atul Ahuja, Cricket Canada's CEO said from Toronto. "Mendis has been given this special prize by the sponsors (Al Barakah) of the tournament," he said. "The details of allotting the apartment in Ajman (UAE) is being worked out," he added. Mendis, who has had a sensational start to his international career, took 26 wickets in his debut Test series against India. The mystery spinner also bagged the man of the series award in the T20 competition, which Sri Lanka won by beating Pakistan in the final.
