Pathum Madusanka

Pathum Madusanka is a promising batting all-rounder playing for Nugegoda Sports and Welfare Club in Sri Lankan domestic cricket.

The top-order batter and right-arm leg-spinner, who has previously enjoyed stints with Sebastianites Cricket and Athletic Club and Badureliya Sports Club, boasts impressive numbers early into his professional career.

A schoolboy prodigy, Madusanka represented Sri Lanka through the age groups and was vice-captain of their successful Under-15 campaign (2011) where he was awarded Man of the Tournament.

In 2014, he skippered the prestigious St. Joseph’s College (Colombo), whose main cricketing alumni is none other than the great Chaminda Vaas. During the same year, he featured for Sri Lanka Under-19s, whilst still at school.

He was a heavy run-scorer at the schoolboy level, with his best season coming at Under-15 level, finishing as the second leading run-scorer in the country, hitting 764 runs in 8 matches.

In December 2015, he made his first-class debut for Badureliya Sports Club. The following season, he notched up his maiden century (110*) amongst 190 runs at 95 in his 3 domestic outings.

Opportunities were limited at Badureliya in 2018/19, but his move to Nugegoda Sports and Welfare Club last season proved dividends, as he finished as the third leading run-scorer in Sri Lanka’s Premier Tournament (Tier B) with 525 runs at 52.50 with a century (118) and 4 fifties.

Whilst pigeonholed as a front-line batter in domestic cricket, Madusanka is a genuine all-round prospect, who has excelled at Under-19 and 23 level in recent years.

Bowling leg-spin, he has taken 57 wickets at 30.60 and 53 wickets at 25.71 in the Under-23 One-Day and Three-Day Premier Tournaments, respectively.

He really is quite the prospect who is looking to play Australian club cricket in future.
