#5 Kaushal Lokuarachchi
Kaushal Lokuarachchi is a right-hand batsman and leg break bowler who made an exceptional start to his career as an all-rounder. Lokuarachchi was drafted into the Sri Lankan team after their debacle in the 2003 World Cup and many believed that he would soon become a regular member in the squad.
His career, however, came to a halt due to a car accident that he was involved in, which killed a woman. He was given a 4-month disciplinary ban following this incident.
The leg-spinner made a steady return to the international scene in 2004 through his consistent domestic performances. He was part of the Champions Trophy side which played against South Africa. But, he failed to capitalise on Murali’s absence and his career faded away subsequently.
