Lasith Abeyratne is a seasoned run-scorer in Sri Lankan domestic cricket, boasting over a decade of experience and a reputation as a consistent and classy top-order batter. Representing Moors Sports Club, and previously Chilaw Marians, Tamil Union, and Colombo, Abeyratne has built an impressive resume that places him among the most reliable batters in the country.
Since making his first-class debut in 2011, he has amassed 6,000+ runs at an average of 36, including 13 centuries and a career-best unbeaten 234.* His ability to convert starts and anchor innings has made him a vital cog in every side he’s represented.
Lasith is no stranger to elite company. During his time with Colombo CC, he shared the dressing room with national stars like Wanindu Hasaranga, Dilshan Munaweera, Sachith Pathirana, and Ashan Priyanjan, and also featured for the Sri Lanka U19s (2010–2012) and Sri Lanka Emerging Players (2015). His U19 days included matches against England U19s, facing future internationals like Ben Foakes, Tymal Mills, and Daniel Bell-Drummond — a testament to his long-standing presence in high-level cricket.
In total, Lasith has played 260+ domestic matches across formats since his debut, earning regular mentions in conversations around Test selection — a reflection of his temperament and output in red-ball cricket.
In 2024, Lasith brought his class to English conditions, shining in his maiden UK stint with Potterne in the West of England Premier League (WEPL Premier Division). He notched up 645 runs at 43, adapting quickly and proving his value in challenging conditions against quality attacks.
Now seeking a UK return for the 2026 season, Abeyratne brings proven pedigree, professionalism, and the ability to dominate across conditions. For any club looking to add an experienced, composed, and run-hungry top-order batter to their lineup, Lasith Abeyratne is an ideal choice.
