description: "Kariyawasam Indipalage Charith Asalanka is a Sri Lankan professional cricketer who currently serves as the captain of the ODI format for the Sri Lanka national team. He is an aggressive left-handed batsman who bats at the number five position in ODIs, and bowls part-time handy off spin. On pitches that favour spin, he has the potential to take useful wickets and contribute significantly as an all-rounder. Asalanka made his international debut for Sri Lanka in June 2021 under Dasun Shanaka's captaincy."
