Profile Arjuna Ranatunga was Sri Lanka’s captain when they won the 1996 World Cup. His innovative captaincy took a Sri Lanka team given little chance prior to the competition to cricket's greatest prize. Despite his relative inability to scamper the quick single which is considered essential in one-day cricket, Ranatunga has an uncanny ability to keep the scoreboard ticking over using deft placement on both sides of the wicket, combined with fluent driving through the offside in particular. He also is a deceptive and useful medium pace bowler. He lost the captaincy following Sri Lanka's poor showing in the 1999 World Cup. He has now retired from international cricket.
