Salinda Ushan is an accomplished opening batter playing in Sri Lanka’s top-tier (A) first-class competition.
A left-hander of some pedigree, he represented Sri Lanka Under-19s in 11 Test (4) and ODI’s (7), including the ICC World Cup in Bangladesh back in 2016.
He made his first-class debut for Colts Cricket Club in February 2017, before moving to Badureliya (2017/18-19/20), Saracens Sports Club (2020/21), and Moors Sports Club (2021/22).
The youngster has been a stand-out performer in first-class cricket for Badureliya, with season tallies of 323 runs at 53.83 (2017/18), 574 runs at 38.26 (2018/19), and 314 runs at 28.54 (2019/20).
His time with Badureliya in red-ball cricket yielded 3 centuries amongst 1,211 runs at 37.84.
The run machine is quite the prospect who ventured to the UK in 2021. Playing for Saltburn, he enjoyed a productive season scoring 524 runs at 40.31 in the North Yorkshire and South Durham Premier League. The talented batter returned in 2022 to play for Salesbury for their Ribblesdale League campaign.
Thereafter, the Sri Lankan star is set to play for East Albury in Australia for the 2022/23 season, before exploring a third UK stint in 2023.
