5 successful Test cricketers who did not achieve great heights in ODI cricket

2nd Test - Australia v India: Day 3

#2 Rangana Herath (89 Tests, 71 ODIs)

New Zealand v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test: Day 3

The Sri Lankan spin stalwart was a late bloomer in ODI cricket, as he made his ODI debut 5 years after his Test debut. For a major part of his career, Herath remained under the shadow of Muralitharan. After Murali's retirement, Sri Lanka opted to invest in young spinners and did not consider Herath as long-term prospect in ODI cricket. Herath holds the record for most wickets by a left-arm bowler in Test cricket, surpassing Wasim Akram.
