BENGALURU, India, Oct 26, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Former captain Angelo Mathews

marked his return to the Sri Lanka team with a wicket with just his third
delivery in the World Cup clash against England on Thursday.

The veteran all-rounder, who was called up to replace the injured Matheesha
Pathirana after initially being left out of the 15-man squad, is appearing in
his fourth World Cup.

Mathews had Dawid Malan caught behind after the opener had made a brisk 28
with defending champions England on 45-1 at the time.

The 36-year-old Mathews is playing just his fifth one-day international in
the last three years but Thursday represented his 222nd game overall in the
format.

He has also played 106 Tests and 78 T20s.
