Isitha Wijesundera is quite the all-round prospect from Munamaldeniya, in Sri Lanka’s Northwest Province.
He currently plays for Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club and comes highly recommended by former Sri Lankan A skipper, and Sussex League sensation, Nipun Karunanayake.
“Wije” initially broke into professional cricket during the 2016/17 season for Panadura but moved to Saracens in 2019/20. After a solitary season with Kandy Customs (2020/21), and a stint back with Panadura (2021/22) due to COVID, he returned to Saracens last summer (2022/23), before his most recent move to Sebastianites (2023/24). It’s fair to say, he has impressed.
On his Major League Tournament (first-class) return for Saracens (Aug 2022), he scored 83 from number 8, alongside a couple of wickets (2/62) against Ace Capital. A week later, it was Bloomfield who felt Wije’s wrath, as he bagged his maiden 10-wicket match haul, with figures of 6/23, and 4/60. A few games later, he was at it again, this time against Tamil Union taking figures of 4/73, and 2/35.
Courtesy of his exploits, Sri Lanka Cricket were swift to select him for a Sri Lankan XI, then A side against the touring England Lions. Once again, he impressed taking figures of 2/16, and 3/14, respectively. He would then play South Africa A in June 2023 as he continues to press for full national honours.
Wije is not just a talented cricketer, but an academic to boot. He has a Degree in Sports Science and Management from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura.
The Sri Lankan all-rounder is a serious talent who is looking to not only break into the national fold but explore opportunities abroad in future.
