New Sri Lanka Captain Kusal Mendis Vows To Conquer 'Personal Weakness'
New Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis vowed Sunday to conquer the "personal weakness" which saw him hospitalised at the Cricket World Cup. Mendis is his country's marathon man, making 76 and 122 in the two defeats to South Africa and Pakistan. The 28-year-old is also the team's wicketkeeper and now is the captain after injury sidelined Dusan Shanaka for the rest of the tournament. Mendis' exertions have taken their toll, needing hospital treatment after cramping during his lengthy stint at the crease before Pakistan chased down 344 to beat them in Hyderabad last week.
