Pakistan v Sri Lanka - Day Two
Niroshan Dickwella's batting unsettled the Pakistanis in UAE

Niroshan Dickwella, an aggressive young wicketkeeper-batsman, is an important member of the Sri Lankan cricket team. His prowess with the bat in the Pakistan tour helped the team play an extra bowling option on the flat surfaces in the UAE.

He showcased his attacking instincts against India and even earned huge praise from former Sri Lankan cricketers.

Having scored 224 runs at 37.33 at No. 6 in the recent home series, he must be itching to score more runs against India in November-December.
