Sri Lanka’s batter, Dimuth Karunaratne, might be making his final Asia Cup appearance due to a combination of factors. At 35 years old, he stands in the twilight of his career. Moreover, the demands of limited-overs cricket have become increasingly challenging. Despite being one of Sri Lanka’s most reliable Test batters, Karunaratne has struggled to establish himself in the ODI format.
His recent records in ODIs have been disappointing. This has hindered his chances of retaining a spot in the national side. Sri Lanka are looking to groom younger talents for white-ball cricket. Karunaratne’s age and the lack of consistent ODI performances might prompt him to consider this Asia Cup as his final bow in the tournament.
