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 Badureliya Sports Club and recently (Jan 2026) recorded career-best figures of 12-136 (5-65 & 7-71) bowling in tandem with domestic legend, Malinda Pushpakumara (1,000 FC wickets), to knock over Moors Sports Club.

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. Surprisingly, opportunities were limited again, prompting his move to current side, Badureliya for the 2025/26 where he has since starred.

In total, Nuwantha has taken:

36 First-Class wickets @ 17.52, with an economy of 3.26
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.
