Chamika Karunaratne

Chamika Karunaratne is a right-arm medium-fast bowler and a handy right-handed lower-order batsman for the Sri Lankan national cricket team, recognized as a valuable bowling all-rounder. He is known for his ability to generate a brisk pace and his consistent line and length, which often makes it difficult for batsmen to score freely. As a bowler, he is a reliable option to break partnerships and contain runs, particularly in the middle overs. With the bat, he is a powerful striker who can clear the boundaries and provide quick runs at the end of an innings.

A testament to his all-round abilities and athleticism is his background as a national-level badminton player before committing fully to cricket. Karunaratne's career has seen him become a vital component of the Sri Lankan squad, especially in limited-overs cricket. His best ODI bowling performance came against New Zealand, where he took 4 for 43. With the bat, his highest score in ODIs is 75, which he scored against Australia. His energy on the field and his ability to contribute with both bat and ball have cemented his place as a key player.
