Sadeera Samarawickrama will be seen in the Dambulla Aura jersey, this year. At the auction, the wicketkeeper-batter was picked up for USD 68000. In LPL, he has scored 297 runs with a fifty in 11 matches at a strike rate of 126.38. Playing for Jaffna Kings in the previous edition of the league, Samarawickrama played his part efficiently with 294 runs in nine matches at a strike rate of 131.25.

In Jaffna’s successful title defence, Samarawickrama hit 44 off 27 against Colombo Stars to help his team lift the trophy for the third consecutive time. This year, the Dambulla team management will expect him to be at his best to help them play quality cricket in the upcoming competition. 

The 27-year-old is actively playing international cricket and utlising his experience. The right-handed batter will back himself to do well for his new team. This year, he got a chance to play a couple of ODI games and scored 44 runs in one innings at a strike rate of 95.65.
