The 35-year-old, who goes straight into the side for Thursday’s World Cup clash, has enjoyed a few memorable tussles with England over the years.
Sri Lanka’s Angelo Mathews knows exactly what it takes to beat England at a World Cup and the veteran batter is promising to “fight fire with fire” when the sides meet in Bengaluru.
The 35-year-old brings bundles of hard-bitten experience with him, including a few memorable tussles with England over the years.There have been Test centuries at Lord’s, Headingley and Galle, as well as a brilliant knock in a losing cause in the T20 World Cup of 2016. Neither team can afford to lose at the Chinnaswamy Stadium this time, leaving Mathews ready for a high-octane affair.“Obviously we have to play our ‘A’ game against a very strong England team. Even though they haven’t played to their potential they are a very dangerous team.
