3 Cricketers who may not retire in 2019 and 3 who are likely to retire

#3 May not retire - Angelo Mathews

Will Mathews actually retire?

Every team undergoes a major transition once every 10-15 years. Sri Lanka had their phase of transition after 2015 World Cup where stalwarts like Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene, Tillakaratne Dilshan decided to call it a day and ever since that SL has continued to struggle in all 3 formats of the game.

But through all their dark days, one ray of light that has helped Sri Lanka to perform well, and win some important matches is Angelo Mathews. Incredibly talented and intelligent, Mathews is good at adapting to different situations.

The reason for putting Angelo Mathews in this section is because of the threat of retiring from the white ball cricket after being used as the scapegoat for their loss in the Asia Cup held this year.

Even with multiple injuries, and bowling stress, Mathews continues to be the best player in the Sri Lankan team sheet. The Asian side has had a horrible time in the last two years, in order to turn it around they need Angelo Mathews to fire from all cylinders.
