Sanoj Darshika

Sanoj Darshika is a talented batter who made the move back to Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic club last summer, following stints with Panadura Sports Club (2020/21), Chilaw Marians (2019/20), and Bloomfield (2018/19) previously.

A batter who bowls useful leg-spin, Darshika enjoyed a quite sensational maiden domestic season for Bloomfield in 2018/19. Playing alongside fellow CricX stars Asantha Singappulige, and Sachin Jayawardena, who all recommend the talented youngster highly, he racked up 509 runs at 56.55 to finish as the 6th leading run-scorer in Sri Lanka’s Premier League Tournament (Tier B).

Darshika also showed his all-round skills taking 8 wickets at 21.75 with his leg-spin. In List A cricket, he has also excelled in his 13 outings hitting 330 runs at 33.

The former Prince of Wales schoolboy then spent brief stints with Chilaw Marians (2019/20), and Panadura (2020/21), before moving back to Bloomfield last season. Darshika has made quite the impression in domestic cricket and is now looking to push on to higher honours.

In view of his ongoing development, the talented batter spent the 2021 season playing for Denby in the Drakes Huddersfield League. He excelled hitting 973 runs at 64.67 including a double hundred (200*), alongside 28 wickets at 16.25 across all cricket for the club.

Unsurprisingly, the club was swift to re-sign Darshika for a second stint in 2022 where he continued to star hitting well over 1,000 runs, the majority in league cricket, alongside circa 50 wickets.

The Sri Lankan batting all-rounder has enjoyed two prolific UK seasons and is now eager to secure a third stint in 2023. **
