School times

Weeraratne had his secondary education at the prestigious Trinity College, Kandy, the only school in the world to own a Test class cricket stadium.

Domestic career

He holds the record for the fastest ever List A 50, beating Adam Hollioake's record by 3 runs in a 12 ball effort. His innings for Ragama included an over that went for 34 runs with 5 successive 6's.

He has also played for Sultans of Sylhet in Bangladesh's NCL T20 Bangladesh.

International career

Though his batting was not as strong as his bowling (predominantly right-arm away-swingers), he was solid at both disciplines. He was part of the Sri Lankan under-19 World Cup squad in 2000 and was selected for that year's Asia Cup in Dhaka.

He retired from all cricket in 2014.
