Profile
This stylish right hander has been a consistent and prolific scorer in Sri Lankan domestic. He was considered a test player and was not selected for one-dayers in the beginning of his career. Now his One-Day record isn't bad either. Atapattu topped the aggregates for Sri Lanka in the 1999 World Cup held in England. He has been appointed the vice-captain of the Sri Lankan team recently.
