On November 28 2008 at the Harare Sports Club Mathews played in his first ODI against Zimbabwe. In response to the Sri Lankan assault Zimbabwe struggled and could only muster 148. Mathews did not make a good first impression with bowling stats of 0/24 in his 8 overs and a 15-ball duck. In his third ODI he scored his first half-century for his country solidifying his spot in the team.

Angelo Mathews played his first T20 international on June 8 2008 against Australia in Nottingham for the 2009 ICC World T20. The Australians were given first dibs by Sri Lanka. They were successful in reaching a respectable total of 159. Matthews began bowling first and finished with 1/10 in 2 overs. He was not required to bat as Sri Lanka easily won.

Angelo Mathews: Rise to the Glory

Angelo is not one of those entertaining-to-watch batsmen. But he is on par with the industry's best in terms of effectiveness. His dexterous fielding enhanced his medium-pace bowling and batting abilities.

Australia and Sri Lanka played an ODI in Melbourne in 2010. Australia elected to bat first after winning the toss. On the board they put up 239 posts. The Sri Lankans scored 107/8 as a result. In the No. 10 finisher Lasith Malinga he found a capable teammate. 

They added 132 runs together for the ninth wicket with Malinga scoring 56 of those runs. As he continued to rotate the strike Mathews continued to score runs from his end. With the last wicket still in play SL was able to win thanks to his performance. In 127 attempts Mathews scored an undefeated 77.

Angelo Mathews: Low Points

Mahela Jayawardene had handed the reins over to Angelo Mathews. The national squad suffered greatly when legends like Jayawardene and Sangakkara retired. Additionally they witnessed the fall of Lasith Malinga a legendary bowler. Sri Lanka's transformation proved challenging.

His 2015 hamstring injury which forced him to stop bowling for about a year and a half was another career low point. Angelo was a pure batsman during that time and Sri Lanka sadly missed his contributions.

In the IPL's 2010 season the 30-year-old played for the Kolkata Knight Riders. In his 11 innings of batting he only managed to score 233 runs while in his 12 innings of bowling he only managed to take 8 wickets. From 2011 to 2013 he was a member of the Pune Warriors of India.
