Sri Lanka at Cricket World Cup Player by Player Analysis: Sri Lanka has chosen its 15-man army for this year’s world cup who will look to win the world cup for their country this time around after their side shrugged off their shoulders in the finals of the 2007 and then again in the 2011 event. The team will be leaded by Angelo Mathews who had a fantastic year 2014 both with the bat and as captain of the national team and will look to emulate the same in the mega-event. This tournament will also be off importance as the two players Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, who introduced a newer, brighter and positive image to the world of war-stricken Sri Lanka. Both players have announced their retirement from One Day International Cricket after this mega-event so Angelo Mathews and rest of the Sri Lankan team will look forward to give a remarkable send-off to these legends of the game.

Many fans would want to know how their team’s representation fared previously at the faster pitches of Australia and New Zealand and what was their contribution in previous editions of the World Cup. We have combined the meticulous data of Sri Lanka’s representation at the World Cup. The stats include each player’s contribution in Australia and New Zealand as well as in previous world cups.
