Binura Fernando

Binura Fernando is a left-arm medium-fast bowler from Sri Lanka, known for his ability to generate bounce and movement off the pitch due to his tall stature. Standing at 6 feet 7 inches, he leverages his height to create awkward angles for batsmen and to extract extra lift from the surface, making him a challenging proposition for any batting lineup. His bowling is characterized by a strong wrist position and a consistent line and length, which allows him to be a restrictive option for his team while also posing a constant wicket-taking threat.

Having made his international debut in 2015, Fernando has been in and out of the Sri Lankan side, often used as a specialist bowler in the limited-overs formats. His career has seen him become a valuable asset in T20 cricket, where his ability to bowl in the powerplay and middle overs with control has been a key factor. He has been a consistent performer in the Lanka Premier League (LPL), where he has played for different teams and showcased his potential with both the ball and, at times, with the bat in the lower order.
