Wisden overview
The latest recruit to Sri Lanka's regiment of left-arm seamers, Sujeewa de Silva bowls at a lively pace with appreciable swing both ways through the air. He first made his mark as a 20-year-old, taking 38 wickets in just six matches for Sebastianites in the National Under-23 championships, including 7 for 34 against Panadura. National recognition came two years later, against Bangladesh in Colombo, as the Sri Lankan selectors opted to rest their premier strike pairing of Chaminda Vaas and Nuwan Zoysa. Andrew Miller
