Lohan de Zoysa is a hugely exciting prospect playing for Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club in Sri Lankan domestic cricket.
A genuine all-rounder, de Zoya is a left-handed batter who either opens or bats top order and also bowls slow left arm spin. He plays alongside the likes of CricX stars Tharindu Ratnayake, Isitha Wijesundara, Thulina Dilshan, and Isivara Dissanayaka, and has impressed in recent years.
De Zoysa enjoyed a glittering schoolboy career playing for Dharmasoka College, Ambalangoda, where he also represented the likes of Galle District, Southern Province, and Kandy Province at age-group level, and was a member of the Sri Lanka U17s Development, and U19 Youth teams.
In 2019/20, he was awarded as the U19 All Island “Best All-Rounder”, and post COVID, made his List A debut for Moors Sports Club (2021/22).
However, it was his move to Sebastianites for the 2022/23 season that has made people sit up and take notice of this prodigious talent. After a strong List A campaign (195 runs at 24.37 and 15 wickets at 18), he would go on to score 505 runs at 36.07 with a century (129) and 2 fifties, the majority from the top of the order, in first-class cricket. The talented all-rounder then backed up with a further 181 runs at 45.25 in the most recent 2023/24 campaign.
It’s fair to say top order batters who bowl left-arm spin are always in high demand from UK clubs, so it's no wonder Wembdon snapped up the talented Sri Lankan for their 2024 West of England Premier League campaign. Unsurprisingly, the all-rounder impressed racking up an incredible tally of 1,608 runs at 59.56 and 46 wickets at 14.07 across all cricket for the WEPL club.
The Sri Lankan star enjoyed an outstanding maiden UK campaign and has subsequently been scouted and will play for Boldon in their Durham and North East Cricket League campaign next summer.
