Sri Lanka's most experienced batsman and one of their finest all-rounders, whose Test longevity and fighting spirit made him a revered figure in Sri Lankan cricket history.
Angelo Mathews is Sri Lanka's most dependable Test batsman of the modern era, a technically correct right-hander who has rescued his team from countless difficult positions. As both player and captain, he has been central to Sri Lanka's Test cricket for over 15 years. He became the first batter in Test history to be dismissed 'timed out' in 2023, in a controversial incident against Bangladesh.
