Chamara Silva

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lindamlilage Prageeth Chamara Silva (born December 14, 1979 in Panadura, commonly known as Chamara Silva) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a leg-break bowler.

Having set a steady record for his club Panadura, he captained the team and secured a good record including a 54 on his One-day international debut against Australia. Since 1998 he has played List A cricket, and since 2004 he has played Twenty20 cricket, with moderate success and steady averages. Made his Test debut in New Zealand and had the worst possible start being dismissed for a pair just like his teammate Marvan Atapattu was a decade earlier. He however justified his selection with a half century in the 2nd Test.
