Biography

Dilruwan Perera has had a commendable domestic career with great batting and bowling figures in first-class cricket, especially while playing for the Panadura Sports Club, where he debuted in 2000/01.

A right-hand batsman, he went on to score some fruitful runs at various batting positions and took wickets at regular intervals.
