		Zoysa has always lived in the shadows of the illustrious left-armer Chaminda Vaas and has imbibed the ability to live with it.
		Following a poor performance in England in 2002, Zoysa was dropped from the national squad; he missed the World Cup, took time to recover from an ankle surgery before slowly hitting the beaten path again.
		Zoysa was now battling for a spot with the promising Ferveez Maharoof, the U-19 World Cup captain, and following a good showing in Kolkata in December, Zoysa made his way back into the national team again.

		Nuwan Zoysa made all the difference at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium when he pinned the redoubtable Indian batting on the mat with some incisive pace bowling.
		Moving the ball appreciably, Zoysa also extracted considerable pace and bounce of the wicket to confound the Indians who were chasing a formidable total of 282.
		Though Zoysa was clobbered in the end by Dravid, he evidently had no competitor for his nomination for the Zicom Protector of the Match award since it was largely his spell which had breached the Indian defences and rung the alarm bells.
