Isitha Wijesundera is a promising pace bowling all-rounder from Munamaldeniya, Sri Lanka’s Northwest Province, currently making waves through the domestic circuit and Sri Lanka A ranks, with a bright future in international and franchise cricket.
Since his professional debut in the 2016/17 season for Panadura, Wije has featured for a range of domestic teams including Saracens, Kandy Customs, Sebastianites Cricket & Athletic Club, Colombo Strikers, and Jaffna. His all-round contributions have consistently turned heads, highlighted by his impactful return to Saracens in the 2022 Major League Tournament where he scored a resilient 83 batting at number 8, alongside key bowling performances.
In September 2024, he was instrumental in Sri Lanka A’s 2-0 series victory over South Africa A, claiming 13 wickets at 13.46, including a career-best 7-34 in first-class cricket. His ability to swing the ball and deliver under pressure has seen him selected for Sri Lanka XI and A sides against England Lions and South Africa A, where he continued to impress with economical and incisive bowling spells.
Roll on April 2025, and Wije was at it again, this time bagging a 10-wicket haul (6-35 and 4-75) against Afghanistan A, before featuring in two matches against Australia A a few months later.
Wije has also gained valuable franchise experience in the Lankan Premier League with Colombo Strikers in 2024, taking 4 wickets at an economy rate of 6.18 in limited opportunities, signaling his potential in the white-ball format alongside stars like Shadab Khan, Glenn Phillips, and Angelo Perera.
Off the field, Wijesundera is academically accomplished, holding a Degree in Sports Science and Management from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, demonstrating his well-rounded approach to cricket and life.
A genuine pace bowling all-rounder with leadership qualities and a hunger for continuous growth, Isitha Wijesundera is poised to break into the national team and is keen to explore overseas opportunities to further develop his game.
