The veteran right-hander is probably the best Sri Lankan batsman ever and has a tremendous record in both Tests and one-day internationals.
The third-highest scorer in the one-day game with over 9,000 runs to his name.
Technically sound and successful against all forms of bowling.
Scored a century when Sri Lanka won the World Cup final at Lahore in 1996 and is also a useful off-spinner.
