Profile: Rangana Herath steps out of Murali's shadow

Master spinner Rangana Herath has led the Sri Lankan attack since the retirement of legendary spinner Muttiah Muralitharan. Herath holds the record of best bowling figures in Tests by a left-arm spinner.

Herath is a roly-poly 5ft 5in and is now 38 years old with 300+ Test wickets. He started out at a teenager from a distant outpost - Kurunegela and recounts his long journey to stamp his class.
