Career summary
DEBUT: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Hamilton, 1990/91

- The original 'pinch-hitter', his bold stroke play in the early overs gave him the Man of the Tournament award as Sri Lanka won the World Cup in 1996.

- He has been equally successful in the longer game - he is now Sri Lanka's highest-scoring Test batsman, including their record individual innings of 340, achieved against India.

- Having played well over 300 one-day internationals, he became only the fourth batsman to pass 10,000 runs in that form of the game.

- Last year saw his first experience of county cricket as he spent the first half of the season with Somerset.
