T20 World Cup 2022: More about Nuwan Seneviratne
The left-handed Sri Lankan was first roped in as a throwdown specialist in 2018 to help Indian betters combat Pakistan’s left-arm pacers, Mohammad Amir and Junaid Khan. India continued his services. The 42-year-old has worked with Sri Lanka for a decade as the senior team’s fielding coach before 2018.
Seneviratne, who is renowned for having powerful throwing arms, scored 112 runs in two first-class games and had fifty runs in four innings. He participated in both contests for the Colombo Cricket Club, averaging 37.33. A total of 144 balls were delivered by the fast-medium bowler, who gave up 55 runs without picking up a wicket.
The former left-arm cricketer has been associated with Sri Lanka Cricket for almost ten years, despite the fact that he only participated in two first-class matches during his brief cricket career in 2004.
