Nipuna Kariyawasam is a quality, and quick, seam bowling all-rounder playing domestic cricket in Sri Lanka. Whilst he has been around the domestic circuit since his debut in 2013 (for Moors Sports Club), he has been unable to cement his spot in the respective sides he’s played for.
However, the 2017/18 season was a breakthrough one for Nipuna who dominated the SL T20 and One-Day tournaments taking 9 wickets at 11.44 and 10 wickets at 20.90 respectively. He finished joint eighth on the latter’s wicket-charts and just outside the top 10 in the T20 competition.
His exploits earned selection for the Super Four Provincial Tournament, where he played alongside the likes of Jeewan Mendis and Isuru Udana for Kandy District.
Brother of former Sri Lankan quick Dhammika Prasad, the former Sri Lankan Under-19 squad member, is not only a genuine wicket-taker, but a handy middle-order batter with a highest first-class score of 92.
The talented Sri Lankan all-rounder, who comes recommended by Chanaka Welegedara continued to excel abroad, playing his maiden UK league stint for Conisbrough in the South Yorkshire Cricket League in 2019. In both league and cup cricket, Nipuna took 39 wickets at 20.64 and struck 726 runs at 33, with best performances of 7-16 and 121 with bat and ball respectively.
Owing to injury, he hasn't played regularly during the COVID period, but is set to return to domestic cricket in 2022 season. Thereafter, the Sri Lankan quick is seeking a club in Perth (Australia) where he has accommodation for the 2022/23 summer.
