Mathews Not Accepted Captaincy Whole Hearty

After Lasith Malinga resigned due to his fitness problems,Angelo Mathews was not mentally prepared to accept T20 World cup Captaincy. But he accepted the leadership offered by Srilanka Cricket unwillingly.

Mlinga played only one match this year – the Asia Cup opener – in which he was named Man of the Match for taking 4 for 26 against UAE.
