5 Players to watch out from the West Indies vs Sri Lanka Tests

Kasun Rajitha

Not a bad quarter to turn to for some assistance.

We all watched with gaping eyes as Kasun Rajitha burst into the international scenario by handing the Indian top order embarrassing dismissals at Pune as Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan were left apologizing for their slow reactions to his searing pace and bounce. Two indifferent T20I outings later he was dropped from the side, but now he has been brought back as an inclusion that is lesser based on merit and more on having an X-factor in the side.

With Dushmantha Chameera injured, Sri Lanka will be tempted to unleash the pace of Rajitha in tandem with Nuwan Pradeep and Suranga Lakmal. On pitches that don't favor military medium pace, Rajitha might be the one bowler who makes things happen out of nowhere and plucks wickets just at the right time to stall momentum and trigger collapses. Rajitha will be an exciting up-and-coming prospect to watch out for against a Sri Lankan line-up that has batsmen like Dimuth Karunaratne and Angelo Matthews, guys banking on mental resolve as their strength.
