World Test Championship: Having scored successive centuries against Bangladesh in the two-match series which was Sri Lanka's World Test Championship (WTC) opener, Pathum Nissanka has set his sights on a special achievement.

With a strong performance in the upcoming T20I series, the Sri Lankan opener is eyeing a place among the ICC’s top ten batters across all three formats, reports Telecom Asia Sport.

Already ranked seventh in T20Is, the 27-year-old has made a compelling case in the longer formats, with a series of strong performances that have turned matches in Sri Lanka’s favour.
