Herath looks to make the most of opportunities at hand
Ahmedabad | Tuesday, Nov 17 2009 IST
 

Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath, who was picked up ahead of Ajantha Mendis for the first Test against India here, feels that he will soon become a regular bowler in the Sri Lanka's Test squad.

Herath said he has a huge role to play in the Sri Lankan team.

''I have a huge role in the team. I played against Pakistan and New Zealand (at home earlier in the year) and did well.

''I also know I can give my best to any situation for the team,'' Herath told 'espnstar.com'.

Skipper Kumar Sangakkara had said Herath has the ability to trouble the opponents which came as huge morale booster for the 31-year-old spinner.

''Well, that's very important for me (to hear the captain's praise). In fact, I have picked up a lot from some of my senior team-mates,'' Herath said.

''I have been around for a decade now and learnt a lot from Murali (Muttiah Muralitharan) and Sanath Jayasuriya.

''Jayasuriya shared a lot of his experiences on how to bowl to Indian batsmen. I never played a Test match (before the Ahmedabad Test) in India before and I want to ensure I do well.''
