10 cricketers who could be future World Cup Captains

Kusal Mendis ( Sri Lanka)

Post the retirement of their batting legends, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, the Sri Lankan team have been in a state of disarray. However, during this muddle, Sri Lanka has seen rise to a promising young batsman in Kusal Mendis.

Blessed with a compact technique, an aggressive impulse, and an iron resolve, Kusal Mendis rose rapidly to become one of the most promising young batsmen in the world.

His 176 against Australia at Pallekele was a series defining knock, considering no one else could muster over 55.

However, he's only able to boast an average of 34.82 in tests,and if he wants to be considered as one of the best batsmen in the world, he'd like to shift that to over 40. Regardless, if he continues putting in the hours and performs consistently, no doubt we'll be witness to a hugely successful career, with captaincy beckoning.
