Keshara Nuwantha is a promising right-arm off-spinner and capable middle-to-lower order batter currently making a name for himself in Sri Lanka’s domestic circuit. He represents Panadura Sports Club in first-class cricket and Badureliya Sports Club in white-ball formats.
Recommended by long-time CricX star Raminda Wijesooriya, Nuwantha has quietly built an impressive domestic record. Across 24 matches (7 First-Class, 13 List A, 4 T20), the bowling all-rounder has shown consistency and control, particularly with the ball.
He made waves with Chilaw Marians in Sri Lanka’s prestigious Major League Tournament, where he took 11 wickets in just two first-class matches at an outstanding average of 15.81, including match-best figures of 8-103. Despite limited opportunities in a squad packed with established players, he impressed enough to earn a move to Panadura SC ahead of the 2024/25 season.
In total, Nuwantha has taken:
22 First-Class wickets @ 19.59, with an economy of 2.98
15 List A wickets @ 21.93
8 T20 wickets @ 13.62
Known for his ability to open the bowling with the new ball, his calm temperament and natural variation make him a highly reliable option in all formats. With the bat, although yet to fully showcase his potential statistically, his promotion ahead of established names such as Pulina Tharanga and Nimesh Vimukthi in the batting order speaks volumes about his all-round value.
Now eyeing his maiden UK club cricket stint in 2026, Nuwantha is eager to develop his game further in English conditions. With a strong domestic resume, multi-format experience, and a glowing recommendation from a respected peer, Keshara Nuwantha looks set to be an excellent overseas addition for any UK club seeking a high-impact spin all-rounder.
Note: Looking ahead, to ensure his eligibility for UK club cricket in 2026 under current ECB criteria (requiring 5 first-class matches in the last 36 months), he must play at least one FC match this winter.
