Ashan Fernando is a talented batting all-rounder playing for Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club in Sri Lankan domestic cricket.
Fernando initially broke into first-class cricket in February 2020 for Tamil Union following a glittering junior career. He was a stand-out for both his College (Maris Stella) and Province (Western-North Under-19s). The batting all-rounder excelled in the Singer U19 Competitions for his Maris Stella College, which he skippered.
A proven leader-of-men, Fernando has also captained both the Western Province Under-19s and also the Tamil Union Under-23 sides in recent years.
Following his stint with Tamil Union, he joined Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club for the 2021/22 season. He was a resounding success in List A cricket hitting 399 runs at 30.69 including his maiden domestic century (105). Whilst he has yet to replicate these performances, Fernando continues to ply his trade for Bloomfield and it seems only a matter of time before he churns out big runs across the three formats.
Recommended by none other than former Sri Lankan legend Rangana Herath, Fernando played his maiden club stint in the UK last summer. Playing for Swinton Moorside in the Greater Manchester Cricket League, the all-rounder struck 539 runs at 31.71 and took 25 wickets at 21.56 for good measure.
Given his success, the Manchester-based club has re-signed the Sri Lankan for a second stint in 2025.
