Lohan De Zoysa

Lohan de Zoysa is an exciting Sri Lankan all-round talent, currently representing Nugegoda Sports and Welfare Club in domestic cricket. A left-handed top-order batter who also delivers probing slow left-arm spin, he first made his mark with a standout schoolboy career at Dharmasoka College, Ambalangoda. His performances earned him age-group honours for Galle District, Southern Province, and Kandy Province, as well as selection for the Sri Lanka U17 Development and U19 Youth teams.

In 2019/20, he was crowned the U19 All Island “Best All-Rounder” before making his List A debut for Moors Sports Club in the 2021/22 season. A move to Sebastianites in 2022/23 proved pivotal, with a strong List A showing followed by an impressive first-class campaign in which he scored 505 runs at 36.07, including a superb 129, alongside steady wicket-taking contributions. He backed that up in 2023/24 with a further 181 runs at 45.25 in red-ball cricket.

De Zoysa’s all-round pedigree caught the attention of UK clubs, leading to a prolific stint with Wembdon in the 2024 West of England Premier League. There, he amassed 1,608 runs at 59.56 and claimed 46 wickets at 14.07 across all competitions. The following year, he joined Boldon in the Durham and North East Cricket League, where he dominated again with 1,114 runs at an extraordinary 85.69 and 47 wickets at just 8.68.

A genuine match-winner with both bat and ball, de Zoysa has become one of the most sought-after overseas professionals in league cricket and is now targeting a UK return for the 2026 season.
