The greatest new ball bowlers have always had the knack of being on the money immediately from the get-go and Nuwan Thushara is soon making a name for himself as one such phenom. The young Lankan quick delivered an outswinging yorker first up in Dambulla to sound Tim Robinson the death rattle.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has unveiled its squad for the upcoming ODI and T20I series against New Zealand on home soil. Charith Asalanka will captain the 16-member squad in both formats for the series, slated to take place later this month at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla.
