Profile
A right-hand batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler, Sachithra Senanayake made his first-class debut for the Sinhalese Sports Club in 2006. The tall, lanky all-rounder was included in the Sri Lankan T20I squad for the series against Australia in 2011. But he had to wait for his international debut, which came in early 2012 in an ODI against South Africa.
Senanayake boasted of tremendous figures at the time of his maiden international outing – 297 first-wickets in just 59 games at a stupendous average of 20.50. Known to handle the pressures of big tournaments, he has done well in Sri Lanka's main one-day competition. He played for Uva Next in the first edition of the Sri Lanka Premier League and was also named in the Champions League T20 squad. In 2013, he was usurped by the Kolkata for the sixth IPL season.
