Lasith Abeyratne is an accomplished batter who has been Colombo's chief run-getter in recent seasons.

The diminutive batter topped CCC's run charts during the 2019/20 season and was the 4h leading run-scorer in Sri Lanka's top flight (Tier A) first-class competition. He opened his 2019/20 campaign with a brilliant 153 - his 10th first-class century - and proceeded to rack up a season tally of 788 runs at 56.28.

The former CCC wicket-keeper relinquished the gloves a few years ago to focus on his batting and his decision has resulted in a deluge of runs, particularly in red-ball cricket where he has clocked up 5,484 runs at 37.30 since his debut as a teenager during the 2010/11 season.

Abeyratne, who comes highly recommended plays alongside the likes of international players, Lakshan Rangika, Ashan Priyanjan, Dilshan Munaweera, Sachith Pathirana, and Wanindu Hasaranga, has also featured for the Sri Lankan Under-19s (2010-12) and Emerging Players (2015). Abeyratne played against the touring England Under-19s early in 2011, in a side that featured the likes of Daniel Bell-Drummond, Tymal Mills, and Ben Foakes.

Abeyratne has already forged an excellent career during his 220-plus domestic matches since his debut back in May 2011. Over the past few seasons, Abeyratne has pushed himself onto the national radar courtesy of 401 runs at 30.84 (2016/17), 707 runs at 50.50 (2017/18), 565 runs at 35.31 (2018/19), 788 runs at 56.28 (2019/20), and 663 runs at 41.43 (2022/23). His 2017/18 season was an incredibly prolific one for Abeyratne, as he finished amongst the leading run-scorers in the Tier A first-class competition to include 3 centuries, one of which he converted into a double (234*).

The run machine is now considering UK opportunities for the 2023 season.
