Sachin Dalpethado is a technically sound and determined opening batter who bowls left-arm wrist spin, currently plying his trade with Burgher Recreation Club (BRC) in Sri Lanka’s top-tier domestic competitions.

Since making his debut for Negombo CC during the 2017/18 season, Dalpethado has featured in over 30 domestic matches, including Major League first-class fixtures, most recently for BRC under the captaincy of Duvindu Tillakaratne—alongside fellow UK-league regulars Nimanda Madushanka and Dulash Udayanga.

While his current first-class numbers (average in the late teens from 9 games) may not fully reflect his potential, those who’ve followed his career know he is a far more accomplished cricketer than stats suggest. He is a former schoolboy star, representing both college and district sides, and etching his name in history during the iconic “Battle of the Saints” school match with a record 157-run eighth-wicket partnership—breaking a 50-year-old record.

Awarded School Colours for Cricket, Dalpethado quickly progressed through the Mercantile cricket scene, captained the SLIM campus side in the 2021 Red Bull World Tournament, and earned domestic contracts with Kalutara Town, Lankans CC, and now BRC.

A driven and team-oriented cricketer, Sachin is now looking to expand his horizons with a maiden stint in UK club cricket in 2026. He is seeking an opportunity in or near Reading (Berkshire), where he already has accommodation secured.

With a hunger to prove himself, a strong work ethic, and the versatility to contribute with bat and ball, Sachin Dalpethado is a name to watch—highly recommended for UK clubs seeking a developing talent eager to make his mark.

Note: Sachin's eligibility window for UK club cricket (based on 5 FC matches in the last 36 months) remains open until 11 Nov 2025.

There are no overseas stats available for this player.
