ICC World Cup 2019: One impact player for each team 

Sri Lanka - Angelo Mathews

Mathews' career has been struck by a lot of injuries

Angelo Mathews, one of the unluckiest cricketers to have taken the field. Mathews emerged on the international scene in 2008, he is a handy all-rounder who can bowl medium pace and can bat anywhere in the middle order but injuries have troubled the former Sri Lankan Captain off late.

Currently, Mathews is not a part of Sri Lanka's squad but he is one of the most important players for the Island nation. The 31-year-old has featured in 203 ODIs in which he has scored 5380 runs at an average of 42.36. He has also picked up 114 wickets in ODIs. He can swing the ball in English conditions and can play the anchor's and finisher's role with the bat.

Mathews has scored 599 runs in England, he averages 54.45 with the bat in those conditions. He can be the all-rounder Sri Lanka needs to be contenders for the World Cup. 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.
