Sri Lankans dominate the ICC Test XI of the Year

Three Sri Lankans have made it to the ICC Test Team of the Year -2014 after some stellar performances resulting in one of the most successful years in Sri Lankan Test cricket. As an added honour current Sri Lankan Test Captain has been chosen to lead the ICC Test XI, which features some of the heavy weights of the world cricket today:

David Warner (Aus)

Kane Williamson (NZ)

Kumar Sangakkara (SL)

AB de Villiers (SA)

Joe Root (Eng)

Angelo Mathews (SL) (captain)

Mitchell Johnson (Aus)

Stuart Broad (Eng)

Dale Steyn (SA)

Rangana Herath (SL)

Tim Southee (NZ)

Ross Taylor (NZ) (12^th man)

Another interesting fact is there is not a single player from the Indian team which is considered a superpower in cricket these days. This is reflection of how poor the Indians have fared in Test cricket especially overseas, on the other hand how well the Sri Lankans have done in their Test assignments away from home. Angelo Mathews and Kumar Sangakkara are also nominated for the ICC awards; Test Cricketer of the Year and Sir Garfield Sobers Award for the Cricketer of the Year.
