Profile
A left-handed batsman and wicketkeeper, Kushal Perera represented the Sri Lankan U19 squad regularly since 2007. He was then called up to the side for the U19 World Cup in Malaysia the following year. An aggressive batsman, Perera made his first-class debut for the Colts Cricket Club in 2009 and scored his maiden fifty.
Also a part of the Sri Lankan A side, Perera was included in Ruhunu’s Champions League T20 squad in 2011. Two years later, Kushal was called up to Sri Lanka's ODI side for their series against Australia, where he made his international debut. An IPL contract too, came knocking in the same year, when Rajasthan bought him the auction ahead of season six.
