May 24 (CRICKETNMORE) - Sri Lanka’s new skipper Dimuth Karunaratne knows the size of the task facing him after being parachuted in at the 11th hour for the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

But the 31-year-old is determined to make the best of a difficult situation on the eve of the tournament. Sri Lanka are, of course, former winners of this competition back in 1996 and made the quarter-finals four years ago in Australia and New Zealand.
