Dimuth wants to lead in WC

Dimuth Karunaratne, who last played ODI cricket at the ICC World Cup 2015, is now in contention to lead Sri Lanka at this year's edition.

Karunaratne is understood to have been asked to remain in Sri Lanka through April to play the provincial one-day tournament, which will ascertain his credentials to play in the one-day side.

"The selectors haven't confirmed anything, but they've told me to keep in mind there's a possibility I could become one-day captain," Karunaratne said.
