Sri Lanka v West Indies Test series 5 players to watch out for

3. Rangana Herath:

Having taken over from Muttiah Muralitharan as Sri Lanka’s main wicket-taking bowler in Tests, the veteran left-arm spinner is one of the finest spinners to have ever played the game. A record of 278 wickets from 63 Test matches with 22 five-wicket hauls proves why he is a genuine match winner for his team. His strengths are his accuracy, ability to bowl long spells and a quicker one that darts back into the right-hander with pace. He uses this variation to good effect accounting for many dismissals. His contest against Marlon Samuels should provide some fascinating cricket. His performances may well define the outcome of this series.
