5 Players to look out for in the Asia Cup 2018

#4 Niroshan Dickwella (Sri Lanka)

Dickwella against Pakistan

He is a Sri Lankan. He is a left handed batsman. He is a wicket-keeper. And he bats high up the order for Sri Lanka. Remember any familiar Sri Lankan player with these similar characteristics?

Dickwella was lauded as the heir to legendary Sri Lankan former captain Kumar Sangakkara. And the prospect he displays in every passing game, doesn't really discard the argument about him replacing Sanga successfully.

Still a lot to prove for the Lankans, with just 1232 runs in 41 ODIs so far, he will be counting on this year's Asia Cup to be the stage where he announces his arrival to the big stage of Keeper-Batsmen, which already consists of former legends like Kumar Sangakkara, MS Dhoni, AB De Villiers, Mark Boucher etc.

After being rested for the game against Bangladesh yesterday, which the Lankans lost brutally, Dickwella will be aching to perform when he gets a nod in the next match.
