He has played for all three formats of the game and witnessed several glorious victories of his team in his long career graph. Angelo Mathews is an all-rounder, who bats right-handedly and bowls in right-arm fast-medium style.

Apart from being a wonderful all-rounder, he captained the Sri Lankan squad for several years.
