NUWAN KULASEKERA

by Quintus de Zylva

Nuwan is another of the senior players in the Sri Lankan cricket team that toured Australia for three one day T20 matches at the MCG , order Geelong and Adelaide. He is a right hand bat and right arm pace bowler who was educated at Bandaranayake College Gampaha and has played for the NCC, Sussex and the Chennai Super Kings.

Along with Lasith Malinga and Upul Tharanga these three senior players have given stability to the young side that has so far won the first and second T20 matches both of which ended in thrilling last over successes.

Sri Lanka looks forward to a clean sweep of this Australian tour – a great performance from a young team. Thilanga and his commitee have steered the side to a winning way after a turbulent period last year. We are proud of them and the leadership role played by Susantha Katugampala in the organisation of the tour. The felicitation dinner at the Grand was also a great success and the part played by the Victorian Government and the Hon. TelmoLanguiller -Speaker of the Victorian Legislative Assembly was noted. All this augurs well for the future of Sri Lankan cricket tours down under.
