1996 World Cup Profile:
Kumara Dharamasena has recently established himself firmly in the Sri Lankan side with a series of consistent performances with both the bat and the ball. His quickish off spinners, delivered with a slightly unorthodox action, rarely miss the spot, making him very difficult to score freely off. Without excelling with the bat, he has proven to be a vital cog in the lower-middle order, producing some resolute performances for his side's cause in the process.help@cricinfo.com
