Isivara Dissanayake is a highly talented left-handed batter from Sri Lanka, known for his stylish and powerful strokeplay. Since breaking into domestic cricket in 2022 with Lankan Cricket Club in the SLC Major League Tournament, Dissanayake has impressed with a solid tally of 411 runs at 31.61 across 10 matches.

After a modest start to his first-class career, he truly found form in his fourth match against the star-studded Colts side, scoring his maiden fifty. He followed that with a string of strong performances, including scores of 88, 67, 86, and 53 against some of Sri Lanka’s top provincial teams. Over his final seven matches of the season, Dissanayake averaged just over 50, demonstrating his growing maturity and consistency at the crease.

Dissanayake’s immediate impact at the domestic level was no surprise to those familiar with his rise through school and provincial age-group cricket. A natural leader, he captained most of the junior sides he represented. He is an alumnus of Royal College, Colombo, one of Sri Lanka’s most prestigious schools—often dubbed the “Eton of Sri Lanka”—which has produced numerous prominent leaders and international cricketers such as Jehan Mubarak, Kushal Perera, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, and Lasith Embuldeniya.

Highlighting his school career, Isivara was awarded the coveted Best Batsman prize during the 2021 Royal St. Thomas’ “Battle of the Blues”, the second-longest uninterrupted annual cricket rivalry in the world, showcasing his ability to perform on big occasions.

Beyond batting, Dissanayake is a useful off-spinner and an outstanding fielder, making him a valuable all-round asset. Now transitioning smoothly from school and provincial cricket to the professional arena, this promising youngster is eager to broaden his experience with a season abroad in 2026.
