5 players who could become Sri Lanka captain
Here are the potential replacements for Angelo Mathews
#2 Upul Tharanga
Upul Tharanga is another player who seems to be the favorite for the top job. As far as leading the young Sri Lanka side till 2019 World Cup is concerned, the 32-year-old looks perfect. Tharanga has even led the same bunch of players in overseas tours this year
Though the team lost many games, his captaincy was never questioned. Tharanga’s strength is that he knows the pressure of playing in the high-profile games. He was the member of the side which played the final of 2011 World Cup. His experience as captain could come in very handy as the selectors will look to build the side for 2019 World Cup.
If the board decides to appoint the same captain across the formats, then Tharanga might not be the man to lead as he is not the regular member of the Test side. Though he looks the perfect replacement of the experienced Mathews in the limited overs cricket.
