Angelo Mathews

Height: 1.83 m DOB: June 2, 1987

One of the best Sri Lankan cricketers to have emerged in the modern era, Mathews started his career as a genuine all-rounder proving equally effective with both the ball and the bat across formats.

Going into the 2019 World Cup, Mathews remains one of the Islanders' biggest hopes in lifting the coveted title.
