Hasan Mahmud and Prabath Jayasuriya Rise as Key Fast Bowlers for Bangladesh and Sri LankaPreviousNext

Hasan Mahmud and Prabath Jayasuriya have emerged as key fast bowlers for Bangladesh and Sri Lanka respectively. Mahmud, likened to Glenn McGrath, impressed with a six-wicket haul against Australia, showcasing control and consistency. Jayasuriya overcame early fitness setbacks and criticism to become a vital threat for Sri Lanka after his late Test debut in 2021. Both players demonstrate resilience and growth, contributing significantly to their national teams' bowling attacks in recent matches.
