Domestic career

Despite having played on several occasions for the Sri Lankan A team, he is yet to make the same impact for his country's full squad, with little but a selection to the New Zealand-touring squad of 2004/05. Before joining the Chilaw Marians, he opened the batting for Tamil Union.

gollark: `gps locate`/`gps.locate()`
gollark: We all know that, thank you.
