The man they call the second Sanath Jayasuriya, Kusal Perera, has already faced some dark times in his five-year-old career. Suspended by the International Cricket Council for failing a dope test, Perera was forced to miss nearly six months of cricket before he successfully challenged the findings. When the ICC admitted its laboratory error, they issued a statement saying: "We wish to make it clear that there is no evidence that Mr Perera has ever used performance-enhancing substances."
