Shehan Jayasuriya

Shehan Jayasuriya is a versatile batting all-rounder who has successfully transitioned his professional career from Sri Lanka to the United States. Born on September 12, 1991, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, he initially made his mark as an international cricketer for Sri Lanka between 2015 and 2020. During this period, he was a member of the Sri Lankan team that secured a gold medal at the 2014 Asian Games. His international career saw him participate in both ODIs and T20Is, with a notable performance against Pakistan in 2019 where he scored a maiden ODI half-century.

In 2021, Jayasuriya relocated to the United States, marking a new chapter in his professional journey. He has since become a key figure in the American cricket landscape, playing franchise cricket for the Seattle Orcas in Major League Cricket from 2023 to 2024. In early 2026, he was named in the United States' 15-member squad for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, further cementing his role within the national setup. A left-handed batter and right-arm off-break bowler, he is valued for his ability to anchor innings and provide tactical depth with his bowling, recently demonstrating his ongoing form by scoring his 14th first-class century in the Sri Lankan domestic circuit shortly before his T20 World Cup call-up.
