He was not picked in the Sri Lankan squad for the U-19 World Cup because of his weight. In less than three years, Maheesh Theekshana has been selected by Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2022 auction.

The off spinner debuted for the Sri Lankan senior team earlier this year at the age of 21. Theekshana struck with his first ball in international cricket. He ended his debut match with four wickets as Sri Lanka beat South Africa to complete a rare series win over a team ranked in the top five.

Theekshana took 10.1 minutes to complete the two-kilometre test two years ago, and his best time for the Yo-Yo test was 16.1. By 2020, he had lost 22 kilograms, improved his Yo-Yo maximum to 19.2, and decreased his time for the two-kilometre sprint to 8.28 minutes.
