Avishka Perera is an exceptional young talent poised for success on the big stage. A standout at school and age-group levels, he smoothly transitioned into professional cricket with the Colts Cricket Club, where he has shared the field with Sri Lankan internationals like Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya Lakshan, and Akila Dananjaya, alongside notable CricX stars Hashan Dumindu and captain Sangeeth Cooray.
As a gifted opening batter who can also keep wicket and bowl off-spin, Perera made his first-class debut with Lankan Cricket Club in May 2019. That same year, he represented Sri Lanka’s U19 team in both Test and ODI formats. Despite the disruption caused by COVID, he remained central to Sri Lanka’s future plans, topping the Emerging Three Day Tournament in 2022 with 663 runs at an average of 82.87, including two centuries and a highest score of 245.
In August 2022, Perera debuted for Colts in first-class cricket, impressively scoring a double century of 236 runs against Kandy Customs Sports Club.
In 2025, he played for Ashington CC in the UK, accumulating 545 runs at an average of 32.06 with a top score of 96, while also contributing seven wickets with the ball. He aims to return to the UK in 2026 to further develop his career abroad.
