Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene has said he has no complaints with the tight Asia Cup schedule since its nothing new.

"I think in international cricket one has to be used to play such a tough schedule. Our players are fit and have been working hard and preparing for this tournament. In fact it was much tougher conditions in Lahore, it is much better in Karachi," Jayawardene said when asked about India captain MS Dhoni's comments.

Mahela also said he was surprised of Pakistan's decision to choose to field first after winning the toss on a new pitch since he would not have opted for the same.

"At the toss I even asked Malik if he was comfortable with his decision to field first after winning the toss. But we definitely would have batted first as it was a new pitch," he said after his side's 64-run victory over Pakistan.

Jayawardene said he would have opted to bat first because of the presence of two high quality spinners in the side in Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis and other supporting bowlers.

"We have four attacking bowlers and that gives us a lot of options. It is one reason for our success," he said.

The skipper had special praise for Mendis who took four wickets to set up the win.

"He has a lot of potential and talent and is a quick learner. He has been at our spinners academy for the last one year. We thought now was the right time to blood him so that he can play along with Murali and learn from him," said Mahela.
