Rye is delighted to announce the signing of Sri Lankan spin bowling sensation Chanuka Dilshan for their 2023 Sussex League campaign.

To date, after 29 List A matches, Dilshan has now taken 55 wickets at 15.21, which represents statistically some of the best figures in Sri Lankan white ball cricket.
In the first-class format, the spinner has enjoyed similar success 62 wickets at 26.48 in 16 matches, including 21 at 20.66 during the current 2022/23 season.
