Wijesiri is an exciting prospect from Galle, in Sri Lanka’s Southern Province. A genuine all-rounder, Wijesiri bats in the middle order and bowls left-arm orthodox spin.
A schoolboy prodigy, Wijesiri was runner-up as the best player during the 2015 Sri Lankan Schools (U15) All-Island tournament. A few years later, he was involved with the Sri Lankan Under-19 squad throughout the 2017/18 season.
The all-rounder was picked up by Kandy Customs Cricket Club straight from school, making his T20 and List A debuts in February and March 2019, respectively.
Such was his talent, Wijesiri was recruited to play for his current club Galle, for the 2019/20 Premier League Tournament. He impressed.
Following a string of notable performances, including back-to-back fifties against Navy and Police, Wijesiri ended the Tier B campaign with 268 runs at 26.80, alongside 11 wickets at 25.27.
Post-COVID, Wijesiri was on song again, this time in both Sri Lankan white-ball formats. In the SLC Major Clubs T20 Tournament, he excelled with the ball taking 8 wickets at 11.62 (May/June 2022), Thereafter, in the SLC Limited Overs Tournament (July 2022) he bagged 16 wickets at 22.68 and produced a brilliant 43-ball 70* (6x4s, 4x6s) against Ragama Cricket Club.
The youngster is clearly a fantastic talent who now aspires to progress in the game with a view to making the Lankan Premier League and perhaps National honours in future.
For now, though, the talented all-rounder is set to embark on his maiden UK stint having signed with Sandbach for their 2023 North Staffs and South Cheshire Cricket League campaign.
There are no overseas stats available for this player.
